Ever wonder what it is like to step foot on some of the best golf courses in the world? Well, John Cavalier, the guy behind the golf instagram account Linksgems has done a great job helping show people what it looks like behind the gates at some of the most exclusive golf courses. Many of the courses where Jon takes photographs are not seen on TV and do not host public events. John's work is primarily golf courses and clubhouses, but throws in an occasional dog picture on the golf course which I love. Linksgems has an annual golf course picture calendar that comes out which is pretty cool if you can snag a copy before they run out. Learn more about Jon and his work. 

 

Christian brings photography to real life. I enjoy seeing a mix of his golf photos which are landscapes of courses, people on the course, PGA Tour stars, and most importantly his family enjoying the game. What makes Christian's instagram account include some of the best golf photos is that he has variety. You will even find some of his work in Golf Magazine and with Golf.com where he captures amazing moments through golf. Christian has some awesome prints for sale on his website, does annual photography trips, and has a solid blog where he does some cool story telling through photography.

I'm not sure how I found Luke's account, but when you get into golf photography and start to look at a lot of golf pictures, instagram is pretty smart and sends along some good suggestions. Luke is a golf professional full time in Queenstown, NZ, but does some amazing golf photography in his spare time. Imagine if every golf professional in the US could take pictures of their courses and players on the course like Luke? I really like Luke's mix of both players on the course, scenic shots and golf landscapes. Since Luke is not a full time photographer, he does not have a website, but I think he does some awesome work and helps gives a perspective of golf photography outside the US from the lens of a golf professional.
