Lexus Champions for Charity 2008






Pebble Beach played host to the 20th installment of the Lexus Champions for Charity National Championship. I have shot the event for the past eleven years in Pebble, La Quinta and one year in Scottsdale, AZ. We enjoyed great, albeit threatening, weather throughout the three day event this year.

Spanish Bay opens each morning with the bagpiper walking from the 1st green towards the tee and clubhouse - appearing as though he came from the sea. Each evening closes with the same routine, often offering great sunset opportunites.

Pebble Beach is an interesting course to shoot. Most of the images that appeal to me are from very far away. The scenes really seem to need some distance in order to give the place its proper scale - a great example being the first image of the Cypress.
