So when the team at Sydney's Eastlake Golf Club commissioned me to photograph their beautiful course, it was well worth the wait.

Can you believe its almost 40 years since the first soil was turned in building the original Riverside Oaks course? It was in great shape for a photo shoot I completed for a feature in this month's edition of Golf Australia Magazine.

No different in Australia.
In Melbourne few non-golfers understand golf courses are the sole preserves of indigenous heathland in the city.

I’m guessing Mike Whan is happy to be separated from me by a couple rows on this flight so he doesn’t have to listen to my thoughts on how the game would be better if everyone would just listen to me. 🤷‍♂️
