So it was with Gary Lisbon and his business GOLFSelect – a leading provider of golf course photography, corporate golf days and tailored golf holidays working with some of Australia’s iconic brands.

“Our business disappeared overnight. We went from a very healthy position to forecast revenue of zero for the coming nine months or more,” Lisbon said.

“We knew we need to repurpose our business and the only area we felt that could happen was with my golf course photography.”

“We see demand for golf themed jigsaw puzzles extending beyond this time – they make great gifts, souvenirs of places visited and we see enormous potential in the corporate market.”

Lisbon hit on the idea of turning some of his spectacular golf course images into jigsaw puzzles to help locked down golfers get their golfing fix away from the course.

“We understood the high demand and low supply of jigsaw puzzles and combined with the inability for many in Australia to play golf due to restrictions we felt jigsaw puzzles featuring my golf course images would be the way to go,” Lisbon said.

“Demand has exceeded expectations – one private Melbourne golf club let their members know about jigsaw puzzles featuring their course and we received 100 orders overnight.

“This has continued with many sales from around Australia and enquiries from the USA, Scotland, Ireland and New Zealand.

“We see demand for golf themed jigsaw puzzles extending beyond this time – they make great gifts, souvenirs of places visited and we see enormous potential in the corporate market.”
