Tour Photography

Connoisseur Golf are very proud to offer our clients the services of one of the world's leading golf photographers for personal and corporate golf trips.

Bill P. Knight, or 'The Shooter from St . Louis' as he is more famously known, will be available to capture those priceless moments on and off the course that will remain with you for a lifetime. In addition to providing individual albums and mementos for your group, he can also be on hand to present your clients with a lasting memory of their golf tour to Scotland should the occasion be of corporate significance.

Bill was the official PGA Tour Photographer from 1971-1998, and is responsible for many of the iconic golfing images you have seen down through the years. The above photograph perhaps gives you an indication of how close Bill was to the leading players of his generation. At the 1973 Ryder Cup in Muirfield, Scotland, Lee Trevino was playing the best golf of a star-studded American team. His confidence was so high he wagered with his fellow team members that he would win both his final day singles matches or face the humiliation of being subjected to a rather lewd act. Unfortunately for Lee, a brave performance by Peter Oosterhuis saw him held to a half point during the morning's play. After a commanding 19-13 victory, Bill was on hand in the US team room to capture the jovial moment of Trevino being invited to honour his bets! My thanks to Bill for letting me share this story and photo, surely one of the best 'inside the ropes' images ever to be caught on camera.

It just goes to show that it isn't always the obvious shots that let you re-live the best memories. Posing for snaps on the Swilken Bridge, and in front of the R&A clubhouse is all well and good, but giving a photographer license to roam with high-spec equipment can really take your album to the next level. Having a professional like Bill on hand - who knows his way around a golf course like no other - will be an invaluable asset for you and your guests.
