I currently work in Ghana, West Africa and every now and then I'm lucky enough to visit some local villages and capture a slice of their lives. Here are a few shot's of the local village and then an insight into what school life is like for the kids in Akoti, Ghana. [VIDEO]http://vimeo.com/79171964[/VIDEO]

On my way back to Australia from Ghana, I'm stopping in Dubai to play a round of golf. I was looking at playing the Faldo Course at the Emirates Golf Club. Has anyone played there or played any golf in Dubai that they would recommend? Might even play a round of their night golf.

This is me to a "tee"..... Pretty much guaranteed to find a broken tee on the par 3's at my home course, if not then I've got back ups in the bag. I like to have the ball just enough off the ground to be completely supported by the tee.

How are you finding these now? I'm looking at getting new wedges and have been very interested in the Mack Daddy's.

I've had the Bushnell Tour v3 Slope Edition for 4 months now and love it! I travel heaps for work playing lots of different courses and its the best bit of kit I have! No argument for not having one!

Hey, I'm looking to get a lighter stand bag and travel with it while I'm working in Africa. I really like the Callaway 3.5 Hyper but can't decide on the colour, hoping some of you can share your thoughts? Cheers!

Thanks Mike, nothing more daunting than signing up to a new forum and not knowing where to start! I'll start making my way through it all ;)

If a course had the boards for hire then I could get a few of my mates out more often. They like golf but not as much as me and don't come out as often. If these were there to hire then they would be calling me to come out and play. I walk and ride but I don't see golf as my exercise for the week, I just tell the wife that it is!

My golf isn't really at the stage where I shoot for the pin, my goal is to get better GIR stats. I would pull out the range finder if it was heavily guarded green so I knew the distances I needed to carry to avoid traps or hazards.

I think this option is awesome.. Added benefit of the seat!

I've only started playing golf seriously over the last 11months, before that was maybe once a year with friends. The first 6 months for me I played without of gps/range finder or even really markers at all. I was out there trying to learn distances, find my swing and have a good time doing it (not just using the range). Now after joining a club my focus has changed to improving my game, lowering the scores and a big factor for me was my GIR, so I started paying attention to the markers to get me in the rough vicinity of the correct distances. I got a range finder 2 months ago and it has helped me heaps. Posting better scores based on knowing the distance I needed to carry hazards. I'm off 14 and I don't shoot the pin because my golf just isn't there yet but knowing distances to/carry hazards gives me a better shot of hitting GIR and ultimately playing quicker. I was a fast golfer before the range finder and I'm still a fast golfer with the range finder. My grandfather doesn't use a gps or range finder, he just pulls of years of playing experience, but he also can't figure out my iPad. Times are changing and we live in a technology based world now with the need to have the latest toy, change is good, it promotes growth!

I'm a Cameraman / Photographer. Working overseas in West Africa at the moment. Some of the stuff I've done can be found on my Facebook Page. Inspired Productions

G'day, Based in Sydney, Australia but working in Mali and Ghana for 8 months of the year. I get the occasional game over here but need more for my golf fix and the sand trap is filling the gap nicely. Anyone else visit or based in Ghana? Regards,

All I want after a round is a tall glass of Coke with Ice or Coke in a glass bottle! Served cold!
