Gopher Watch Competition – October 2024
Sandy was in very exalted settings for the last issue, visiting the storied Seminole club in Florida.
Photographing Sandy on very famous courses inevitably increases the number of entries we receive: it was the largest number of correct answers we have had for Gopher Watch in its 19-year history. English based Australian architect Tim Lobb, was the first name out of the hat, and wins the prized GCA golf shirt.
This time, Sandy is back on the links, his natural home. A less famous course, though, as the backdrop to the photograph shows, hardly the most anonymous. This writer vividly remembers playing the course on a hugely windy day and seeing a ball swing full 50 yards in the air on his tee shot on a par three.
