Our publisher really apologises in advance but... there were a few copies left over that were not numbered even though the US publisher can confirm that there were only 6,000 printed in total. The book does come with a signed print by the author of the first fairway and 18th fairway of St Andrews and it looks wonderful. Other than that the book is absolutely stunning and the photography is mesmerising. If you can do without the number on the last page of the book it is an absolute collector's book and is incredible value at this price.
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.
Savour a view from the 11th hole of the incomparable and historic St. Andrews' 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 cliff top 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 skilfully orchestrate the exceptional union of nature and course design on five continents. This deluxe, limited-edition volume features over two hundred sumptuous colour photographs of courses, some of which have never been photographed or published previously, in full spreads and gate folds-some measuring over five feet in length-and includes a print signed by the photographer. Golf Courses: Fairways of the World will be strictly limited to 6,000 copies.
