Courtesy of its innovative, stylish and minimalist design, Great Golf Down Under acquaints golf enthusiasts with spectacular golf photography sourced from seventy-five golf courses throughout Australia and New Zealand. Moreover, the readership gets its fill of excitement without the distraction of text overload.
Acclaimed golf-course photographer Gary Lisbon is the principal, indeed sole, photographer. Much of Gary’s subject-matter could be considered ‘household’ names, while other courses may become so in the fullness of time. Showcasing the rich diversity of golf courses located in the geographic region known as ‘Down Under’, is both a pleasure and an obligation for his company, GOLFSelect.
Great Golf Down Under features over 250 images— many, depicting golf holes which have never been photographed or published previously—ensuring participation in a memorable golfing journey. The photographic representation is broad, encompassing the truly spectacular aerial images of Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand’s North Island, where an errant shot can easily fall 160 metres into the ocean, through to glorious sunrises encountered at Sydney’s masterpiece, New South Wales, or Tasmania’s contemporary wonder, Barnbougle Dunes.
The latter, featured in all its absolute beachfront glory is, arguably, the most important Australasian golf course development in the last fifty years.
To aid the readership’s navigation throughout the publication, Great Golf Down Under groups golf-course images into popular golfing regions in both countries. In this manner, for instance, you’ll admire (as a set) the subtle beauty of the courses which comprise the world-famous Melbourne Sandbelt region, including Royal Melbourne and Kingston Heath.

Media Reviews
"Ahh, just my type of golf book – lots of pictures, not much reading. This offering from Gary Lisbon is a belter with world class photography that you want to just keep looking at again and again. I’m sure it will be a hit and one that golfers far and wide will want sitting on their coffee table for years to come. Unlike many coffee table books however, I think it’s one that will get opened again and again and again".
