Guest: Gary Lisbon, the World's Premier Golf Course Photographer on his new Sandbelt Golf Course book

A Talk Birdie To Me bonus ep today, with a special guest dropping by - the world's premier golf course photographer, Gary Lisbon. Gary has a new book out today (August 25) called 'Great Golf on the Melbourne Sandbelt', it is a panoramic book and perfect for anyone who loves the Sandbelt, or as a fathers day gift for a golf-lover.

Nick and Mark chat with Gary about why he believes that 'pound for pound the Sandbelt is the best golf course region in the world'.

Mark asks if golf course photography has changed much over the last 20-years, and Gary says it absolutely has, and there are two key reasons why, which he explains.

Gary explains what 'golden hour' is and why it is important.

Nick asks Gary to name the most under-rated Sandbelt golf course

Does Nick or Mark have a better eye for photography? Gary picks one of the boys out.

Gary talks about the US course that imported a sand profile from Royal Melbourne in order to replicate the bunkering, and the sand, at that course.

And he talks us through an enormously fun webpage where every hole from the 10 official Sandbelt courses are listed, with photographs of course, and you can create your very own composite course. The great thing is that if you do, and share it on your socials, you'll go in the draw to win an autographed copy of Gary's new book.

The website to build your own composite Sandbelt course is here.

And to order your very own copy of Gary's new book 'Great Golf on the Melbourne Sandbelt' visit the site here.
