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.
