The recently released second edition of Gary's high quality coffee table book titled "Great Golf Down Under 2", showcases over 450 photos that Gary has taken of 121 golf courses throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Gary has also been fortunate enough to play many of the world's top 100 golf courses (and in fact is slowly nearing his goal of playing all 100) and loves showcasing the great courses of Australia to overseas visitors. He is also a member of the illustrious US GOLF Magazine World Top 100 ranking panel which determine the courses which make up this highly regarded listing.
