After early success in this field, he turned professional in 1997. His career has taken him to some of the most prestigious and famous golf courses in the world. His evocative and detailed images of the great courses of Scotland, Ireland and the United States and Europe have won him acclaim and admiration. These classic courses come alive through Chorley’s meticulous attention to detail. No nuance of nature escapes his reflective observations.
