I’ve been fortunate over the years to cover various PGA golf events. Starting in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in the late 80’s at the Chattanooga Classic and continuing on through the USGA Senior Open at Lake Orion, Michigan, in 2012, I’ve hauled my video gear across several courses while enjoying every minute of it.
Last week I had the opportunity to cover the LPGA’s Meijer Classic in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This time, I not only shot with a high definition video camera, but I also grabbed a Nikon 5000 still camera and worked on my photography skills. Having the world’s best female golfers as my test subjects made it all seem easy. Instead of writing about covering the LPGA, I decided to share a few of the more than 1,000 photos I snapped.

About Kraig Ehm
I am a Columnist for The Sports Column. I love sports. As a kid in California, I was a huge fan of the Dodgers, Lakers, and Trojans. In high school I played football and basketball in Alaska. I co-captained our school to their very first state championship. As an adult, I’ve coached boys’ and girls’ basketball—everything from teaching the fundamentals to elementary players all the way to winning a varsity boys’ state championship. I have even donned the stripes while refereeing basketball. I’ve been fortunate to carry my love of sports into my broadcasting career. With more than 30 years’ experience in broadcasting, I’ve worked in radio and television covering college basketball, college hockey, USA Hockey, and the PGA Tour. Currently, I am a television producer/director at Michigan State University. I have had ample opportunity to learn that while a small percentage of people really do get to “win the BIG game”, the majority simply do not. Disappointing athletic performance may cause some folks to cry. Not me. It inspires me to write down my “Ehmpressions” as a member of TSC.
