Winter in the Trossachs; the view westwards along Loch Katrine from little Ben A'an is unbeatable.
A glorious end to a March day found the water of Loch Morlich obediently reflective as the last snows of winter still decorated the Cairngorm Mountains.
A glorious winter morning lights up the dramatic ruins of the old castle, half a mile down the coast from St. Monans, East Neuk of Fife.
It's the second shot which is hard to judge as you begin the inward 9; inevitably the green is invisible if the drive ends up in the first hollow of the rollercoaster masquerading as a fairway! A great par four.
A mix of ancient and new confronts the golfer at the short tenth. Ancient pine trees form the backdrop, while a typical Dave Thomas bunker awaits strays to the left front.....
Frost turns 'green' to white in this January shot of the downhill par three 10th hole of the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles. The Ryder Cup will be staged here in 2014.
The early storm having cleared, spring sunshine floods across the course, here highlighting the enclosed 10th green on the Queen's Course at Gleneagles.
A glorious day across the ancient links of Montrose provided perfect light. This is an unusual shot looking back to the 10th green from the 11th tee.
This is a hole which rarely earns plaudits or criticism in any post-round analysis. In one sense, many golfers see it as linking the pretty testing five holes immediately preceding it to the start of the toughest finish in Open golf......
The furthest hole from the Clubhouse is also one of the best, especially into the prevailing west wind. Placement of the drive is crucial, while the approach has to be struck well enough to carry the multiple bends of the burn (invisible from here!)
Late August on the Ayrshire Coast; evening sunshine beautifully highlights the renowned links of the Ailsa Course at Turnberry.
This just HAS to be one of the most extraordinary courses in Scotland - and this hole one of its most spectacular. Hit the ball well, or gorse, the beach or a pot bunker will end all interest in par!
The River Tyne borders the northern edge of this excellent East Lothian course. Low lying, it was prone to flooding, hence the astute decision to use the excess water as a feature. A first class result benefits both golfer and photographer.
"Clivet" is the name of this fantastic par three which has spelt disaster for thousands whose tee shots have blown off course and landed in the Bay of Cullen! It must rank as one of the most dramatic short holes in Scotland.
This hole is probably unique; where else in the world does an approach shot have to clear a three foot high wall to reach its objective?! It is just one of many superb holes on this magnificent links.
Arguably the most spectacular challenge on this delightful course just outside Gatehouse-of-Fleet, the 13th requires accuracy from the tee (for obvious reasons!) and an equally sound approach to a deceptive green.
As if heavy protection by sand was not enough, this terrific short hole features a wickedly contoured putting surface which offers no mercy. There is no room for error from tee to green.
The only double green of the round is both charismatic and photogenic. The 4th causes few problems, but the 14th more than compensates! "The Spectacles" marks the start of Carnoustie's legendary finish.
The beginning of a very difficult finish is this extremely testing uphill par four, caught on a glorious spring evening. Superb holes in a setting of ancient trees provide the perfect location for golf.
This is a rare sight - indeed it may be unique - on St Andrews' links. A pond at the furthest extremity of the Eden course awaits any pulled approach shots. More than a few have suffered a watery grave.
Early summer sunshine beautifully highlights 'Denty Den', where 'death or glory' was never more apt at a short par 4. Gleneagles has few more tantalising holes than this one.
One of the hardest par threes in Scotland - and not only because it is 200 yards plus. A huge green with a variety of fearful slopes makes holing out a fraught affair. Another great links venue in the north of Scotland.
The long 14th culminates in a slight left-hand turn towards a narrow, well-guarded green. The drive needs to be right, the second shot just as true but it is the approach shot which sets up par - or the occasional birdie!
This is, simply, one of Scotland's greatest par threes. Total carry - over 190 yards of heather, gorse, rough and sand hills - is the first hurdle. A viciously sloped green is the next. Securing par, therefore, is an absolute bonus.
Running alongside the southern bank of the River Teviot, this is the 'signature' hole' of the challenging Roxburghe Course just south of Kelso. Some excellent tournament golf has already earned this testing venue much praise.
Superb views are available from all points across Aberfoyle's hillside location. This one looks south from the top of the course, across the 15th green.
The closing holes of the course have the rolling hills behind Peebles as their backdrop. The Tweed should not be a problem from a golfing perspective!
A spectacular sky above the Cairngorms provides a dramatic backdrop to this shot across the pond to the right of the fifteenth hole.
A glorious autumn morning lights up the 15th at Ballater, Royal Deeside.
The first rays of a September sun light up the fourteenth green and fifteenth tee at the western end of the course, from which the views across the Clyde are at their sumptuous best.
By sheer good fortune, the laburnum tree alongside the 15th fairway was at its absolute best on the day chosen for a visit to the course. Great light provided the finishing touch.
Not christened "Lucky Slap" for nothing, the tee shot requires perfect placement - then an element of good fortune - to avoid kicking right either into sand or rough. The second shot is no less problematic.
Not "Braid's Brawest" perhaps, but certainly one of the most picturesque holes on the King's course at Gleneagles Hotel. More than a few qualify for that title in this legendary Perthshire location with stunning layout and wonderful scenery.
Early morning sun produces blazing yellow on the broom around the green at the shortest hole on the King's Course at Gleneagles.
The classic view to the church steeple in the very centre of the town gives away the location of this links immediately; this is one of the hardest holes on Montrose links.
Glorious yellows of broom and gorse catch the eye around the pond which dictates the strategy of approach to the 16th green of the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles.
The entrance to the 16th green is fraught with potential disasters; the bunkers are the obvious ones, while wind direction can also play a crucial part in proceedings.
The monument to the Earl of Hope commands the top of the hill which separates the towns of Bo'ness and Linlithgow. It also makes a fine backdrop to the holes at the top of the West Lothian Golf Club - particularly in weather like this!
Engulfed by huge pine trees on three sides, the sixteenth tee faces northwards as the close of a memorable round approaches. After the searching test which has gone before, however, there is still no respite....
The first rays of April sun flit across the 16th green. Should the tightness of the drive or a mis-placement of your short iron cause you much gnashing of teeth, simply relax and enjoy one of Scotland's great panoramas.
A longer-range springtime view of the testing 16th on the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles. Be happy with a five!
Late autumn sunshine beautifully highlights the 17th green on this most popular - and at times very frustrating - inland course in the old County town of Angus.
The penultimate test of one of Morayshire’s – indeed Scotland’s – great links courses possesses a well protected, flat green towards which measurement and angle of approach can be fiendishly tricky.
"The Alps" is the penultimate hole of this great links course, which was the scene of the very first Open Championship in 1860.
Three massive bunkers protect the entire frontage of the penultimate hole. They therefore discourage underclubbing the approach shot - unsurprisingly, anything TOO bold finishes in trouble behind the green.
The old fir trees above the 17th green on the King's Course at Gleneagles offer a perfect vantage point for the photographer. The light does the rest!
A burst of winter sun contrasts with the threatening black sky in this shot of the short 17th on the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles.
A great finishing hole - downhill all the way - encourages shoulders to open on the tee but not so far that the drive reaches the green-front burn. The pitch is key to a birdie opportunity before a welcome retiral to the 19th hole!
A glorious autumn sunrise lights up the 18th green and, beyond, the cliffs which guard the entrance to Stonehaven. This is one of Aberdeenshire's favourite golfing haunts.
The closing hole is a very exciting challenge, requiring the golfer to cope with a huge drop from an elevated tee, avoid trees and gorse, then manage to negotiate a dog-leg in the final stages.
The seasonal view down the closing hole on the King's Course at Gleneagles offers a new perspective towards the Dormy Clubhouse and the Hotel.
Rated by many to be equally difficult to the Old Course the New is a splendid challenge of similar length. This view looks to the 18th green and Links Clubhouse over a clump of gorse and bunkers which protect its left-hand side.
Great light, hawthorn berries ripening on cue and a fabulous sky were the constituents of this shot down the 18th at one of Perthshire's most popular golfing venues - entertainment and superb presentation guaranteed from start to finish.
One of the classic Gleneagles viewpoints (and there are many of those!) highlights the closing hole of the Queen's Course lit by beautiful autumn sunshine.
Great views of the opening holes of Hilton Park's "secondary" challenge may be obtained from the highest points of the big course. This is one of the favourite vantage points.
Spring sunshine lights up the gorse to the rear of the first green of the Chapmpionship Course.
The Devlin Course has an enormous variety of challenges, not to mention changes of direction. The 1st heads south-east to a green more than adequately defended by bunkers and rough.
The classic combination of a burst of sun, following receding rain clouds, provides perfect lighting at North Berwick.
The opening hole of this enchanting parkland course immediately introduces arboreal problems - a feature of the entire round.
The approach shot to the opening hole is complicated, not just by the downslopes at the entrance to the green, but by a relatively new bunker at the right front. The 'flat' putting surface is also very deceptive.
The view from the elevated first green towards the tee and the Dormy Clubhouse; it's a very testing start to the King's Course at Gleneagles!
Glorious sunshine illuminates the opener on the King's Course at Gleneagles, where your medium irons need immediately to do the business! This is a hard start to the adventure on these hallowed fairways of Perthshire.
The long trip to Buchan was rewarded with this stunning early morning shot from the 3rd tee towards the town - and approaching rain!
The target from the hugely elevated 2nd tee is some one hundred and fifty feet below - sadly this summer evening shot does not convey the excitement and challenge of finding the right club then using it well!
Early autumn, glorious late afternoon light and a terriffic sky all came together to provide another lovely composition from the highest point of the three nine-hole layouts at Muckhart. The Ochils, as always, supervise from the rear!
An unusual springtime shot of the second green looks backwards towards the clubhouse. It is the first of two par fives on the course and, coming early in the round, can easily yield a bogey if the golfer isn't yet into his stride.
A classic early morning springtime view up the Ayrshire coast from the rear of the short 2nd hole on Prestwick St Nicholas.
One of the finest challenges in the round does not get the credit it undoubtedly deserves. A slight dog-leg, superbly bunkered, with sand dunes offering further defence both left and right, is a very stiff proposition so early in the round.
A typical autumn morning in Speyside yielded spectacular views down the course at Dufftown.
The pond below the 2nd green is not readily visible from the low, boomerang-shaped fairway. This image, however, shows just how important it is not to pull the approach shot!
The newest image of the much-tampered with 3rd on the Championship Course reveals the major problems should either club selection or ball strike be deficient.....
Aside from its use as a major feature of the hole, the high knoll which blocks your view to the green of the third hole on the King's Course at Gleneagles is the perfect viewpoint!
The first section of this rollicking adventure soon leads back to the Clubhouse. The 4th green features here, from a vantage point amidst a fantastic spread of bluebells on the steep slope above.
This excellent Open Qualifying inland course was just about looking at its best on a glorious spring afternoon. The 4th is another of the trademark Ladybank par threes - be accurate with club selection and ball-striking, or else!
Trees and water dictate much of the success of an adventure around Murrayshall, situated on the hillside to the south of New Scone. This hole is a typical - and beautiful - example.
The first view of Loch an Eilein, which features in the closing third of this round, opens up as you approach the 4th green on the Queen's Course at Gleneagles.
The highest point of the entire Muckhart layout affords southerly, rather than northerly, views towards Knockhill and the Forth Valley. Mind you, the golfer needs at least two more clubs to get up the hill to the elevated green and this panorama!
This view across the fifth tee shows the only double green on Carnoustie Links - the fourth ( to the right ) and the fourteenth ( to the left).The fifth hole heads south-eastwards..... read on!
The second of five tremendous short holes, this requires pinpoint accuracy from the tee to avoid a watery grave or disaster among the willow trees which overhang the green.
This is one of the best short holes on the course - both visually and technically. With any wind at all, it requires a hefty strike from the tee - and straightness as well. Mind you, what a backdrop!
Late evening sun highlights the "last" of the hazards which litter the near-six hundred yard stretch of this magnificent par five "Hogan's Alley".
The classic Luffness shot; prominent clubhouse, teasing fairways, links and early morning light across a lovely golf course.
Lovely summer sunshine beautifully highlights the heather above the sixth green "Mistylaw" at Ranfurly Castle.
A glorious start to a September morning finds sunlight sweeping across the short seventh at Gleddoch, above Langbank and the River Clyde, 16 miles west of Glasgow.
This modest course, on heathy, elevated ground six miles to the south of Glasgow, is ever in stunning condition – as evidenced in this shot of the seventh.
Late autumn sun and the availability of fir trees to the left of the fairway created an ideal composition for this shot toward the difficult, well-guarded green.
The top of the course offers superb panoramas across Gourock to the Cowal peninsula, with Gare Loch and Helensburgh but two other conspicuous landmarks to the north and east.
Open Champion Paul Lawrie rates this as one of his favourite - and most difficult - par fours. This view from the tee shows the entire challenge while the early morning sunlight indicates precisely why it creates havoc for the average golfer!
One of the most quaint challenges of Turnberry's second course is this most attractive par fours, which turns sharp right and downhill to a secluded, well-guarded green - Firth of Clyde next stop!
There are no finer views of the Forth Valley anywhere. From the Trossachs far to the west, eastwards past the Forth Bridges and thence to East Lothian is a wide-angle panorama of some sixty miles - just stunning!
The first par three on the Medal course offers little respite. Out of bounds all the way to the green, where heavy bunkering and a markedly sloping putting surface are in store, keep the pressure on for golfers of all abilities.
The 9th green is a pretty unspectacular end to a quite dramatic par four on the Ailsa. On this occasion, however, a fierce burst of sun after heavy rain did the needful and transformed the 'ordinary' into the 'special'.
An unusual shot of the 9th green this one; taken with late evening sun highlighting the trunks of the pine trees. These separate the hole from the railway line which gave the hole its name.
The 9th again requires skilful club selection to cope with a drop of some eighty feet to the green far below. Sadly this image could not convey the difficulty involved but the fun and excitement still have a long way to go!
This excellent par four concludes the outward nine on a splendid golf course. With the exception of two holes, everything is played northwards or southwards with few chances offered along the way to be less than accurate at all times.
Scottish golf courses are set alight every May by the profusion of gorse which rampages over innumerable humps, bumps and forbidden rough on both links and heath.
