Have a cruise to Alaska coming up in May, no golf but should have a bunch of photo ops...Tamron 70-200 F/2.8.

Hope I can get some Northern Lights but I guess it gets iffy in early May.

What are you looking to capture with that lens?  My first thought for an Alaska cruise is the glaciers so I'd be grabbing my 17-50mm.  But then again, when we were tromping around Nova Scotia, I repeatedly wished for a longer lens...

Definitely want to see some pics!

Good luck - hope to see some photos, including the Northern Lights.
Hopefully you have an robust tripod, as I've heard that you need a time exposure to capture good photos of the Lights, which could be difficult on a cruise.

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands
