Principle Lighthouse Keeper Andy Bluer on the Bishops Rock Lighthouse
Principle Lighthouse Keeper Andy Bluer on the Bishops Rock Lighthouse, some seven miles out into the Atlantic, off the Isle of Scilly has taken up golf, and during his 28 days " stint" on the lighthouse practises with a returnable ball on the helicopter pad.
Says Andy, " When the wind is in the west as it is today, it is a 3, 000 miles to the nearest green (The Azores). Tomorrow if the wind changes it will be easier - seven miles to the St Marys course - a six iron!
April 1978

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures Principle Lighthouse Keeper Andy Bluer on the Bishops Rock Lighthouse, situated seven miles into the vast Atlantic Ocean off the Isle of Scilly. In a surprising twist, Andy has discovered a newfound passion for golf during his 28-day stint on the isolated lighthouse. With determination in his eyes, he practices his swing with a returnable ball on the helicopter pad. Amidst the relentless winds blowing from the west, Andy humorously remarks that it feels like an astonishing 3,000-mile journey to reach the nearest green at The Azores. However, tomorrow holds promise as he eagerly anticipates an easier challenge - just seven miles away lies St Marys course where a mere six iron will suffice. This April 1978 snapshot showcases not only Andy's dedication to his unique profession but also highlights his ability to find joy and amusement amidst solitude. Dressed in a cozy jumper and armed with navigation skills honed by years spent tending to this remote beacon of light, Andy seamlessly blends elements of adventure and sport. George Phillips skillfully captures this moment in time through his lens, immortalizing both Andy's commitment to duty and his unexpected pastime. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability even in the most unconventional circumstances.
