I realize that Instagram isn’t exactly a new thing. The photo sharing app has been around for a couple of years, but I wasn’t really an early adopter.

But over the past year, I have found the app to be fun and the filters make taking golf related photos a little more interesting. Sometimes I link the photos to my Twitter or Facebook (or both). Sometimes they just end up on Instagram.

Anyway, since I’ve been a total blogging slacker, I thought I would share some of the Instagram photos I’ve taken on the golf course this year. Let’s call this a preview to a post I’ll put up this week in which I basically Instagrammed my way around a golf course on Saturday.

So here you go. As always, let me know what you think.
No. 9 at Southview Country Club from the tee early in the year.

No. 7 at North Oaks Golf Club from the fairway on a great May day.

Pink flagsticks at Southview on Mother’s Day.

No. 12 at Southview, perhaps my favorite green complex here. It’s a short iron, but you have to manage your distance correctly.

No. 16 at White Bear Yacht Club from the tee. A super cool hole.

No. 18 at Southview from the first landing area.

And here is my trusty push cart that I broke out of the basement when my back was a little sore.
