I am with Moose here (of course), and would add only one thing to what he
says, that the beach scene has a clear uninterrupted view of the sea on the
horizon, which we all expect to be straight (never mind that it actually
isn't).
http://www.vicanek.de/plugins/panowarp.htm is an interesting PS plugin, but
the write-up on the linked page has some interesting - and apposite -
examples.
There are other interesting plugins on the same site.

Yup, unless you created the two differently. If you look at the beach image,
the effect is modest, just glaringly obvious because of the simplicity of
the subject.
In the golf course, you have a complex mix of subject matter at all sorts of
different distances from the camera.
If you search for "horizon camera images" on Google, you will find lots of
them.In many the effect isn't noticable at all, others only if one is
looking for it and in a few, it is obvious and annoying.
I found some wonderful examples when I was last looking, but they aren't
showing up now. A close-up shot of a ship from the pier was comical.
