Delight as Cannon gets up close and personal

THE marketing blurb describes it as “the ultimate luxury gift book of 2011”.

But once you have viewed David Cannon’s Golf Courses: Great Britain and Ireland you will agree that such claims are not hyperbole or overstatement.

The book launched at the Old Head of Kinsale yesterday is a limited-edition (3,000 copies), oversize creation containing spectacular photographs of the best courses from Britain and Ireland. It showcases stunning panoramic views of nearly 100 of the most extraordinary golf locations featuring more than 300 stunning colour photographs in full spreads and gatefolds — some measuring over five feet!
