sbon has made an art form of capturing the world's great courses at their most magnificent.
With a spectacular landscape and coast in his native Australia, Lisbon has been blessed with a great canvas in his homeland.
But he's also travelled far and wide to document some of the great international golf settings.
We asked Gary to contribute some of his favourite images to celebrate Golf Month.
We think you'll agree, his contribution is nothing short of spectacular …

The Royal Melbourne Golf Club, Melbourne Sandbelt, Victoria
Hole 16 (East), Par 3
Classic par 3, one of the most photogenic on the Sandbelt. Morning shot with a hint of sun peeking through. Amazing bunkering.

Kingston Heath Golf Club, Melbourne Sandbelt, Victoria
Hole 15, Par 3
Arguably the best par 3 in Australia. Testing, tempting and downright scary at times.

Barnbougle Lost Farm, Bridport, Tasmania
Aerial shot of course
From a helicopter on a windy day through an open door, so a truly spectacular shot. This photo was fortunate enough to win golf photograph of the year from the Golf Writers Association of Australia.

New South Wales Golf Club, Sydney, NSW
Hole 6, Par 3
Rich colours in this sunrise over another great par 3. Playing over this water is always testing and par is a good score.

The National Golf Club, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
Hole 7 (Old Course), Par 3
With the sun in the perfect place, one of the world's great golfing backdrops highlights this spectacular hole perfectly.
INTERNATIONAL COURSES

The Links at Fancourt, George, South Africa
Hole 10, Par 4
Amazing colours in the rough and fairway with the backdrop of the Outeniqua Mountains framing the shot perfectly.

Cape Kidnappers Golf Course, Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
Hole 15, Par 5, Pirates Plank
The simplicity of this shot shines through. Clean, uncluttered and shows the golfer what they are facing. Known as Pirates Plank, the hole narrows as you get closer to the green.

The Old Course at St Andrews, St Andrews, Scotland
Hole 18, Old Course, Par 4
World famous course, the home of golf. Try getting it without people – almost impossible!! But it worked this time.

Trump Turnberry, Scotland
Hole 9, Par 3
Newly designed and much better than before. Par 3 playing over cliffs perilously close to the water. Lighthouse backdrop completes the picture.

Royal County Down Golf Club, Newcastle, Northern Ireland
Hole 3, Par 4
After a 3:52am wake-up call, a climb to the top of the dune behind the green, then a 90-minute wait before the sun made a 45-second appearance to get this shot. Easy!

Kauri Cliffs, Bay of Islands, New Zealand
Hole 7, Par 3
Backdrop of the Cavalla Islands is breathtaking and the distinction between fairway and rough shows the golfer the challenges ahead.
<image="12" align="left" />
Old Head Golf Links, County Kinsale, Ireland
Hole 4, Par 4
Another lighthouse and a par 4 which does not reward shots hit left. The whole golf course is perched on the tip of Kinsale in southern Ireland and a clear day here is rare indeed.
