Brian Oar

The images I create are as close to the heart as it comes. Golf course photography is in my blood and images of beautiful grassy masterpieces wander through my mind incessantly. With much time and patience I have developed a unique talent for capturing alluring golf scenes with my camera eye. Golf courses are a mysterious puzzle to me, not only in the game, but through the lens. Each course is a challenge, and every hole brings new joy for me to capture a moment in time. As a passionate golf course photographer I go to great lengths to capture the most provocative images as possible, continuously neglect sleep and to search out a perfect photograph.

Dan Smith
www.golfaccordingtoscruffy.com

A simple marking of his golf ball evolved into a cartoon series called Scruffy & Pals. Dan started drawing images on his golf ball and even though each golf ball had a unique original character, he named the ball he played with "Scruffy." Friends and fellow golfers started asking him to draw some balls for them to give as gifts, which led to a series of cartoon characters. In the series, Scruffy, the main character of the series, introduces his golfing pals. Each of the pals has a unique personality which comes out as they give humorous and occasional serious commentary, tips and opinions on various golfing subjects. The series currently has twelve characters and growing. Dan's cartoons are published in universalgolfmag.com.

The response has been very positive so I started painting other courses winter. I specialize in commissioned work and would love to paint your golf course.
