Building LinksDAO Episode 3: Evan Schiller

In this episode of the Links Golf Club Podcast, we explore one of golf’s most debated and emotional questions: What makes a golf course beautiful? To help us unpack it, we’re joined by Evan Schiller. Evan is one of the most celebrated golf course photographers in the world. A former PGA professional turned artist, Evan has photographed over 600 championship courses, including Augusta National, Pebble Beach, and The Old Course at St. Andrews. His work appears in Golf Digest, LINKS Magazine, and clubhouses across the globe. Together, we explore how beauty shows up on a golf course and how photography plays a powerful role in shaping a club’s identity. Whether you’re a golf architecture nerd, a design lover, or just someone who appreciates a good sunrise over the 18th green, this one’s for you. This is Episode 3 of Building LinksDAO, our series about the hidden ingredients behind great golf clubs. 🧢 Learn more: • Evan’s Work → https://evanschillerphotography.com • Spey Bay Golf Club → https://speybaygolfclub.com • LinksDAO Membership → https://links.golf 📸 Follow Evan: • Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/evan_schiller_photography ⏱️ Episode Guide: 00:00 Cold Open & Intro 05:12 Evan’s Journey from Golfer to Photographer 11:43 What a Golf Photographer Actually Does 21:26 Defining Beauty on the Course 34:00 Photography’s Role in Golf Culture 49:18 The Back Nine (Rapid Fire Round) 59:40 Closing Thoughts
