BIGGA Photo Competition Winners

Greenkeepers have proven they are equally adept at taking great shots with their cameras as with their clubs, as shown by this year's pick of the BIGGA Photographic Competition, sponsored by Syngenta. 

The 2010 Competition has been won by regular entrant Gareth Roberts, Course Manager at Hankley Common Golf Club, with his superb picture taken on his own course (above).

He narrowly beat his son, Graeme, into second place, with his stunning picture of Quail Hollow Golf Club in the United States (above).

Third place went to Paul Hope, of High Post Golf Club, in Wiltshire, with another simply amazing entry.

The 2011 BIGGA calendar will comprise those three pictures plus entries from: Marek Zubert, Lewis Birch, James Hutchinson, Peter Dawson, Russell Lewis, Adam Turner, Craig Boath, Glen Kirby and David Harrison.
