Ricky Barnes - The Ultimate Photo

We’ve only got probably the only picture of any merit ever shot of Ricky Barnes in our library, courtesy of Mr Steve Read, golf photographer to the stars. Tim (Editor of www.showmethegolf.com) was up at Loch Lomond doing a photo shoot with Darren Clarke. When that was delayed the boys got their paws on one Ricky Barnes, and talked him into getting in front of the camera. The result – one of the most iconic golfer shots of the last decade. If only he had won, Steve would be rolling in it, and we’d be basking in some sort of reflected glory halo. But it was not to be; Mr Glover came through. And we never got a shot of him.  Never mind.  As this is a blog I can’t show you the photo in question anyway, which is more the pity, as you’d love it. Will have to get Steve Read to release it for our use on Show Me The Golf.
