Apologies to those of you who might have already seen these words/pics in another forum but I feel rather proud so I thought I'd post the thread here too 
I didn't want to jinx it, which is why I never mentioned it before but on Monday I covered the Spoony Classic, a charity golfing event at Stoke Park (seen in films such as Layer Cake and Bridget Jones' Diary) for a paying client. There were quite a few celebs there and loads of pro golfers and footballers.
My client was In2Games, makers of Real World Golf. They wanted me to get photos of celebs and pros playing their game, as well as covering the rest of the event and getting all the usual shots.
The event itself has been going four years and was founded and organised by DJ Spoony to raise money to get kids into playing golf. it started out as just him and a few friends and in the space of a few years has grown into a full day event with a champagne reception and dinner in the evening.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable day, although I did get soaked as I'd left my waterproof stuff in the car and, as sod's law would have it, the heavens opened as soon as my clients were about to tee off so I couldn't go anywhere until I'd got shots of them starting. Luckily I brought a change of clothes and my shirt was dry again for the dinner, which was fairly formal. I still looked scruffy by comparison but they let me in and served me posh food so I'm not complaining
Here are some shots from the day. Obviously with it being a paying client and not a photoblog, these aren't going to look anything like my normal 'work', and they've only been adjusted at the Raw stage. I simply didn't have time to do them in Photoshop - there were over 130 shots supplied to the client in the end.
The clubhouse
Spoony with children from The Golf Foundation
Ian Wright and one of the kids from the Golf Foundation
Spoony & buggy
Vernon Kaye, prior to teeing off
Another blingin' buggy (though nothing compared to some of the cars in the car park that day)
Teeing off
My 'scene setting' shot (I know it needs masking)
Ian Poulter begins his round. You can't see but he had the most blingin', iced-out shirt and bag you've ever seen.
The reception area of the clubhouse
