Gary Lisbon has been an accomplished Melbourne, Australia based golf-course photographer for almost two decades. His photographic goal is clear-cut: to capture the essence of the golfing landscape and the spirit of the game — through the medium of his camera.

Headed over to Western Australia today for a photo shoot of Cottesloe Golf Club. This private members golf club is a bit of a quiet gem with not many people knowing much about it. The golf tour operators dont use it as the club likes to remain private but it is a great golf course that provides a nice variety of golf holes to get you thinking. Had great weather for the duration of my time over there which was fantastic!
