I took these pictures at the Augusta National's 2003 Masters Golf Tournament.  We had 4-5" of rain during Masters week.  The course was closed Monday & Thursday due to rain (Saturday & Sunday were gorgeous).  All the rain resulted in lots of mud.  At the bottom of this page is a picture of my shoes used during the week (they were retired on Sunday & put in the trash).  Kudos to the National's outstanding ground crew for keeping the fairways & greens in great shape.

The rain really limited photography this year.  I was also trying to figure out lots of new things this year.  I switched gear from Nikon to Canon & moved from film to digital all at once just before the tournament.  This ended up being more of a learning curve than I expected.  Maybe the weather & photographer will both be better next year.
