Golf Champions: Ross McGowan
Ross Mc Gowan, Winner of The Golf Madrid Masters 2009
Following the Golf European Tour, week after week, I have decided to start a series of portraits featuring some of the leading figures of European Golf. For the moment I will concentrate on present champions, but I am sure than past champions will also inspire me, at least the ones I often saw live on tour, like Sam Torrance, Colin Montgomery, Steve Ballesteros, etc… I know, they are not really past, but I suppose that they are no more on top of their form… I might also one day start to feature some famous American golfers, but this much more delicate: me being a fanatic of the Ryder Cup, hey are of course THE enemy, and I generally tend more to paint my friends than my enemies…! 
So, my first portrait is Ross MacGowan, who won yesterday the Madrid Masters 2009 in Spain. I wished I could have been there personally, but I had some urgent work to do… another time surely! I appreciated very much his attitude on the golf course, the guy never lost his temper although he had a tough gig. He kept smiling, even when at the very end, by the 18th hole green, he ran the danger to chip his ball back into the water and lose his possibility to win. Instead of swearing and hitting his club against the ground after the lethal shot which brought him in that position, he walked to his ball, relaxed and gently smiling.
Bravo Ross, and good luck for the rest of your career!!!
