The Marysville Masters Charity Golf Day rasied over $650,000 for the residents of Marysville who lost their houses in the devastating fires of Black Saturday. GOLFSelect ran the putting competition on the day with the winner facing off against Greg Norman.

I was asked by the Ilhan Food Allergy Foundation to take some aerial images of Marysville Golf Club for a proposed golf day which is being held at the fire ravaged golf club on November 10 this year.
The scene from the air was one of a number of distinct contrasts - the open pastures of the farms surrounding the golf course and the fairways of the golf course were a lush green whilst the trees surrounding the course and scattered amongst the fairways were scarred and burnt - a remnant of the terrible Black Saturday Bushfires in February this year. And to add a further contrast there was white snow in the hills surrounding the township.

Back from Adelaide after a 3 course photo shoot at the some of the best courses in Adelaide - Royal Adelaide, Kooyonga and Glenelg. Fluctuating weather made it a bit harder than nornal and capturing 3 courses added a bit of pressure also.

In early January this year I was commissioned by Australian Golf Digest magazine to take some aerial images of the Sydney coastline from La Perouse and up through Sydney Harbour.

After what seemed to be an inordinately long amount of time (yet in the scheme of publishing was quite quick) our first copies of Great Golf Down Under arrived in our offices. This was indeed an exciting time where all the months of preparation had finally come to the point of a finished product.

Today was an exciting day in the whole process of putting Great Golf Down Under together. Andrew Cunningham, Paul Daley and myself spent a few hours at Splitting Image - a color management company that produced our final proofs for the book prior to them heading overseas to be printed.

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!

I was commissioned by the Denarau Golf & Racquet Club to take a series of photos of the courses on the holiday island of Denarau. This island is flat as a pancake as it is reclaimed land from the ocean. Difficult to get any kind of elevation on shots which was one challenge.
The other challenge was rain, rain, rain and then some more rain! Maureen and I were there for 4 days (arrived on Tuesday) and it rained torrentially for 3 1/2 days. Not what you want when you are trying to capture images of what is supposed to be an ideal sunshine laden golfing destination.
