Golf Course Pictures - promote or protect? (Part II)

Golf Course Pictures - does it make you want to play?

A course owner recently said that if a golf course picture doesn’t make you long to play the course, it is a waste of time. Myself included, most pictures we take fall into that “ho-hum” category, especially as we go down the learning curve. The way to elevate yours is to see examples of great pictures and average ones, and to be able to tell the difference. Does this make you want to play the course?
