These golfers look tiny from the viewpoint above the trees, taken with the Mavic Mini.

What a great view from above

Thanks.  That's as near to golf as I wish to get. Not a sport for me

Yeah I bet you don't want some small ball to take out your drone

The reason I stayed out in the rough, behind the trees, over open farmland.

Nice shot!

Gosh people actually play on the course,   we're still banned here.   Nice capture.

I should have taken the M2Zoom as well. The whole area is authorized for drone flying. I could have got some great detail.  I didn't have the nerve to take the Mini over the course and clubhouse ( which is a castle, by the way)

Nice shot!

Could not resist.

Whilst I'm not a fan of this technique, I can see how it would appeal to some.

The title triggered me 'miniature'

I should have made the title " Mavic Mini-Golf"

oh nice,   a castle club house is very cool.   I stayed in a beautiful golf club just outside Charleville-Mézières some years ago.  But oddly it appears to have closed.

Great shot.    Glad to see the golfers putting the course to good use.  

Growing up in South Texas they used to call it "Cow Pasture Pool".  As you can tell I'm not a Golf fan.  LOL.

Me either. It took a moment for the penny to drop regarding Cow Pasture Pool. Nice one

LOL.  Sorry, maybe the term didn't translate across the pond so well.  I just never could figure out why people would chase a little white ball all over the place and try to not lose it in the process.  Then they would get frustrated every hole they didn't par.  Too stressful of a sport for me.

Was it W.C.Fields, or Oscar Wilde, who described Golf as " A good walk, spoiled" ?

Apparently is was Mark Twain!  I just googled it

Another source cites John Feinstein, as Mark Twain died 38 years before the quote was made.

Yeah, I'm going to go with John Feinstein also since Mark Twain was dead before the quote started being public.  

Anyway, it is a fitting saying for golf.
