We're especially interested in photos from the greatest courses around the world. No guarantees of use are made, of course, but we'll take a look at all photos submitted. If your photos are used, we'll send you an email with the URL of the page(s) on which they appear. We require at least three photos of each course to add a gallery.
You will be given credit for your photos on all pages on which they are used, and your name can appear as a link if you desire.
What to Submit
We're looking for landscapes, not portraits. That means we're not interested in a photo of you and your buddies, drivers in one hand and beer cans in the other, posing at a course. We want photos that depict the holes and features of golf courses. There should not be any people in the photos, unless they appear at a distance and are unidentifiable, or if the photos were taken during a professional tournament and include crowds.
How to Submit
1. Submissions are made via email, and first-time submissions should include no more than three photos. (You can indicate in the email if more photos are available.)
2. Photos MUST be in the JPEG (.jpg) format.
3. Photos MUST be no larger than 500 pixels in height or width (in other words, 500x500 is the maximum size).
4. Photos should be optimized for the Web, if your photo editor includes that option (if it doesn't, don't worry about it).
5. Submissions must include a brief description of each photo attached (i.e., "The photo named 'wondrous_secondhole' is a view of the second hole at Wondrous Country Club from the tee box. It's a 443-yard par-4 and the No. 2 handicap hole."). Two- or three-sentence descriptions for each submission are ideal. However, you can provide a lengthier description if there is a particularly interesting fact about that hole to share.
6. ONLY SUBMISSIONS THAT INCLUDE THE FORM BELOW WILL BE CONSIDERED.
