1st Hole, Desert Highlands Golf Club
Captured from the tee with a Hasselblad H3D-50
“I was originally commissioned by LINKS Magazine to shoot Desert Highlands Golf Club and then asked by the club to stay an extra two days to shoot for them. This shot of the first hole is my favorite of the entire shoot. As you drive up to the first tee there’s an anticipation and curiosity of what’s ahead and over the hill. Upon reaching the crest of the hill and walking onto the first tee you are greeted with this amazing view. What a way to start the round. This shot was taken late on my third day of shooting, and as you can see, the cloud formations were spectacular. There are numerous teeing areas and thus many different angles from which I wanted to photograph this hole. I had to act quickly as the sun was setting and soon would disappear behind the clouds on the horizon.” —Evan Schiller
