Calling All Photographers - What is your best picture?

[Mike Hendren]

Not sure if it is my best but it is my first published.
Sports Illustrated Classic Courses 2007 Calendar
Crystal Downs.

Perhaps the inspiration for Doak's first green at Tumble Creek.  Tom?

Thanks to all for posting, it is great to see individual perspectives of so many courses that are mentioned in this fine forum.

Tim Bert: Thanks for posting the pic of #6 at Pacific. It actually verifies that there IS a green somewhere up there.

[Guy Nicholson]

Fourth at Pac Dunes. First one out that day.

Boy, what it must feel like, after finding what might be a great sequence of four holes, to see this land and say, "well, what can I do from here?" and then come up with that solution.  What an evening it must have been for the Doctor on the future front nine of that "downsland"

Question for Gordon Jones - Great photo the course looks familiar maybe we can have a knock around there sometime?? Would it have been your favourite had you slid the return putt past the hole??

[G Jones]

it was a 2 and half foot putt with a bit of break... and i knew if i missed it i would never be able to think of the hole again without being annoyed... so yeah, it was a good job i holed it!
if I missed I probably would have zipped up the photo and never looked at it again...

I've been mostly unhappy with the results of my attempts at golf course photography, but here is one that I like.  It is the approach to par 5 12th at the Phantom Horse Golf Club in Phoenix Arizona.

Some great photos there, but you haven't labelled them!

The first is obviously Bass Rock (any one see the excellent BBC programme "Coast" last weekend with a feature on Bass Rock?  Shame they didn't also feature the West Links!)

The second I think I should know. The wall made me think of North Berwick but I can't place the green.

The third is Muirfield?

Is the fourth from a golf course?  I can't see one on the photo

The fifth is Turnberry (4th or 5th green?). I recall having a bit of a mare on that hole

No idea on picture six.

I'm guessing that pictures 7 to 11 are Lahinch (as you told me you were going!)

Twelve is Tom Doak's Renaissance Club at Archerfield.

Thirteen I don't know.


I've several photos of my own I should post.  I've loads from Shiskine and Kingsbarns that I haven't even downloaded from my camera yet!

When there is a good half light there is no course in the world that photographs better than the West Links. I, of course, don't have the ability, but I love the Pit.

Shouldn't this also be on the great short par 4s thread as well?

Here's my favorite from the trip to St. Andrews in March 2007, a first visit to the New Course.  
This is the 6th green with "The Auld Gray Toon"
in the background.  The gorse in bloom is a
wonderful sight, and the 6th green is a delight to
negotiate.  Great bowl in the front!

Pacific Dunes #13 (got it up and down!)

Okay, it's a hokey staged picture of my wonderful wife, but do you have any idea what a thrill it is to wake up to this view out the bedroom window on your first morning in St. Andrews?

[Ulrich Mayring]

This guy was incredible. After a flight had left the green, he came screeching over the mounds with his scooter, his dog yapping behind him and with an expert's touch he immediately retrieved any balls that didn't quite make the approach. It may look like a Golf bag on his scooter, but that is just to throw off the marshal - in reality he was working the lakeballs business.

Here are a few more of my favs.

The Club at Bond Head North Course, Hole #2.  I love the shadows across the hill and bunkers.


This is my Dad on the 7th tee at Enniscrone.  I've had 2 great golf trips in Ireland with my Dad and next year I hope to make it a 3rd.


This is from the 18th green at Castlerock.  The sun came out just after we finished and I was able to grab my camera before it tucked in behind the clouds.

[Nick Church]

Here's my best effort... new course at Fairvue Plantation (Foxland course):

[Mickey Boland]

St. Andrews from TOC.  Maybe not my best, but one of my favorites.

[Dan Moore]

Phil,  regarding my earlier post they have a lot of work to do at Erin Hills before something there looks as elegant as anything at Crystal Downs.  

Here is a companion to my earlier photo, the Three Amigos to the Three Sisters.
