Golf under Mount Rundle
Some golf courses sell difficulty. The Banff Springs course sells scale. Stanley Thompson cut it through the pines along the Bow River in the 1920s, below the castle silhouette of the Fairmont Banff Springs, and under the full rock wall of Mount Rundle. We brought a film camera instead of a scorecard mentality, and the grain suits the place: this is golf from an older brochure.
The architecture of the view
Every hole frames the mountain differently. You line up a drive and the backdrop is a thousand metres of limestone; you putt out and the hotel's turrets sit over the trees like a set piece. The sand traps read as pale brushstrokes against all that green.
Slow game, slow film
Film forces one frame where digital invites forty, and a golf course in the mountains rewards the discipline: wait for the swing, wait for the light on the face of Rundle, take the shot once.
The best playing partner of the day never touched a club.
