Good humor. I think we all have been there (or if not in golf at least at someting).

This gave me a good giggle. Maybe you should pray to have your handicap miraculously healed.

Nice play words, and you got me as I'm a golfer myself and I know how this feels. Nice sky in the background too (fingers of God).

Great idea for the subject. I think they grey sky didn't help much but I do like the ray effect in the middle left.

Creative idea! I like the angles of his body and the club and the horizons - gives the photo lots of rhythm and keeps me with the photo longer. Good job.

I wanted to enter a picture of a donut or swiss chees factory, but felt they'd fry me. Great idea, levels and saturation could be use adjustments. Great comp and perspective.

Funny, if the challenge were "holey places" instead of "holy places". Would work well in a humour challenge. I do like the beams of light in the background.

I wish I could say I have never been in this position before but...
Like the shot, great idea. I may have left a little more room at the top, lead you to where he is looking. Nice job 7

flat lighting. Cute take on the subject, although I'm quite sure it will be hammered by enough people to affect your score. Nice composition. It's the lighting that keeps this from getting above a neutral score.

Although its quite funny as a photo it doesn't really interest that much.
A tad dark aswell.
