Shooter's Comments:

Golfers having fun always makes a great video, so I shot a video of the Groundhog Open Thursday. The putting championship was an 18-hole course between the Grand Wayne Center, Embassy Theatre, and Courtyards by Marriott.

There was also an undercurrent of competition between the City and the County, but all was in good jest. Money raised benefited The Downtown Improvement District's floral efforts to help purchase and maintain flower pots downtown.

I was going to use a tripod to shoot this, but space was tight, so I ended up hand holding my Kodak Zi8 for the video.
