Photographer David Cannon began his career in sports photography
twenty-five years ago and is considered the premier golf
photographer in the world. Having played at more than seven hundred
golf courses in over fifty countries, Cannon photographs with a
true golfer's eye, offering an extraordinary window into some of
the world's most celebrated courses--with more than 40 in North
America, dozens in Asia and the South Pacific, and several in both
Africa and the Middle East. Savor a view from the 11th hole of the
incomparable and historic St. Andrews's Old Course bathed in golden
afternoon light; glimpse giraffes and elephants from any green at
Leopard Creek, South Africa; vicariously experience Pirate's Plank,
the harrowing 15th hole at Cape Kidnappers, New Zealand, which is
set at the very end of the clifftop fairway surrounded by dramatic
500-foot drops to the ocean; and take in the serene sea view from
the signature 18th hole of the very private Seminole Golf Course in
Florida. "Golf Courses" stunningly captures the singular genius and
beauty of golf courses. It is a comprehensive collection of the
world's best courses by revered designers including Donald Ross,
Pete Dye, and Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and such new talent as Steve
Smyers and Tom Doak, among many others--all of whom skillfully
orchestrate the exceptional union of nature and course design on
five continents. This deluxe, limited-edition volume features over
two hundred sumptuous color photographs of courses, some of which
have never been photographed or published previously, in full
spreads and gatefolds--some measuring over five feet in length--and
includes a numbered print signed by the photographer. "Golf
Courses: Fairways of the World" will be strictly limited to 5,000
copies.
