Last week saw me on a very brief trip to Scotland to cover a feature for Golf Illustrated on the brillaint course designer Tom Doak.

I arrived at 11 am on the Tuesday having been told that Tom would be around for 2 days, so plenty of opportunities to get some images.

But as it happened Tom’s plans had changed and he was just about to leave to go to Edinburgh airport to catch a flight to China via manchester and Abu dhabi!!

These thinks happen to all snappers, it’s no ones fault you just have to suck it up and get what you can.

Tom was great, I had TWO MINUTES with him to get as many portraits as possible.

I also managed to capture a few shots of him and the owners the Sarvadi brothers over a very hasty sandwich.
