摄影是工具，而不是目的。我在球场上摄影的另一个目的，是用摄影来分析挥杆的技术，以提高自己的球技。这里记录的是我在2009年4月在Shell Houston Open摄的明星们的挥杆动作分解。这里的每一张都几乎可以给我自己的挥杆一些启发。希望爱好高球的朋友也喜欢。

我选择在星期三PRO-AM去看SHO是个明智的选择。这天，职业选手们很relaxed。带着笑容，态度很好，签名、照相都很随便，观众也较少。第二天的比赛被大雨取消了。

那天Lefty, Phil Mickelson 的T-time较晚，他迟迟才出现，等他的人很多。他在比赛前和比赛中从不签名。他只在比赛后才签。不知为啥在PRO-AM这种练习赛也如此。他的世界排名经常在第二。

(14) Close-up on his driver swing


(15) We need to mimic that explosive facial expression.


(16) Transition from back swing to forward swing is so critical.

(18) Look his release: hand position changed (now left hand on the top or right for right-handed)

(23) Phil is very friendly, indeed a "people's golfer."
