Portraits of Golf’s Long Ball Champ Sean Fister

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I shot portraits of Golf’s Long Ball Champion, Sean Fister on the ASU Kasten Golf Course.  He hits a very long ball.  He uses a drive he designed called the Punisher and hits Dixon Golf Balls, which are the world’s first recyclable golf ball and a really long ball.  If you have been keeping up with my posts, you have already seen the video of my golf lesson with him.  Here are a couple shots from our photo session.

Sean can throw the ball up in the air and hit it like a baseball right out of the air.  It is absolutely amazing.  He has a lot of control over that club and apparently a healthy dose of hand eye coordination.

Did I mention we shot these in the winter.  I love Arizona!

My Golf Lesson with a Golf Pro

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Just thought you might want to get brushed up on your golf game.

While I was shooting a portrait of Long Ball World Champion Sean Fister, he offered to give me a little golf lesson, which the film crew got on camera, and now it is in the Dixon Golf You-Tube Promo.  Sean Fister is a funny guy.  I had a lot of fun shooting the portraits.  Now I just want one of his Punishers (his driver) .  I hit it, it is a very nice club!  My drive was long!

Dixon Golf makes the Earth Ball.  It is a long hitting ball that also happens to be the worlds first and only completely recyclable golf ball.  Oh, and did I mention that it is a LONG ball?  It’s a long ball.  Put that Punisher together with the Earth Ball and you’ve got a long drive.  (Yes, I golf).

My golf lesson is at 2:20.  Let me know what you think of my form.
