Hi guys,

Just a quick bit of advice if you don't mind - being a keen amateur golfer myself I play in a few team events for my golf club - this weekend the team are heading out for a match that I am unable to play in, so I'm going along to take a few snaps of the day. If successful I'll be doing the same again at a England golf event in September hosted at my own golf club.

I have a cheapo SLR (Nikon D50) with a couple of lenses:

AF Nikkor 50mm 1:1.8D
AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G
and the standard AF Nikkor 18mm-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G

I also have a Hoya CIR Polarizing filter.

Obviously I can simply aim, point and shoot on auto etc, but I'm wondering if anyone has got any advice on whether the polarizing filter would be a good shout (is that meant for sunny days mainly?), if it is a bright colorful day should I be doing much with the F-stop?

I inherited most of the kit above, I'm fairly new to this and having a hunt online for advice, but thought I'd ask here as well.

Thanks
