 This is Nick Clark, he's employed at Couchiching Golf & Country Club in my home town of Orillia, Ontario Canada. Nick works in club services and looks after all the little things when his regular duties are done, such as trimming the grass on the green in front of my ball :)~

OK the last part isn't true but he was delighted to give me a hand with this shot and he did a great job at it. He was a lot of fun and enjoyed himself with the shot set up.

That's my fat arse in the background, I thought it would look better if someone was waiting for him to finish his work.

I hope this one does well because it was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw this challenge and it turned out just the way I pictured it, although in hindsight I would move further away so there was more of me in the shot, I think it would have more impact. Oh well it's to late now.

A decent entry. Personally I would have liked it a little cleaner in the foreground. Nice concept and execution.
