anyone know of a good site with beautiful images of various course around the world that i can download for a desktop wallpaper for my computer?

Try this, from Golf Travel Forum

http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8607

There are a bunch more in the same forum. Just scroll through the list looking for course names and you will find plenty. If you want any better res versions of pics I have posted, PM me with a separate email address. Pics typically about 1.5 MB each full res.

I keep a collection of favorite golf photos posted at flickr.com... many are posted as original large format photos which can be used as wallpaper.
