GOLFLAND SCOTLAND

David Cannon, the world's finest golf photographer, took the beautiful images in GOLFLAND. He has spent a lifetime capturing the world's best golf courses, as well as the most famous players and most important moments in professional golf, including Seve's 1984 celebrations on the 18th green at St Andrews and Jack's charge at Augusta two years later. He's photographed 19 Ryder Cups, 18 Solheim Cups, 43 Opens and 41 Masters. He is a legend in the world of golf photography. A very good amateur golfer in his day, David played alongside Seve in a pro-am in 1976 and alongside Faldo, Lyle, and others in major amateur events before he put down the clubs and picked up the camera. "I was just better at capturing great moments on the course than I was at creating them," he says. "It was easier for me to make deadlines than to make cuts."
