the executive dining room at the club or the walls of your restaurant.
Choosing golf pictures and golf memorabilia is easy if you keep a few
things in mind.
Choose Golf Course Art for Formal Settings
Golfers
aren’t the only celebrities in the sport. Golf courses are often stars
in their own right. Many views and scenes of golf courses are famous the
world over, and many pro golfers can tell stories about the time they
faced Augusta #12 or the 5th hole at Pebble Beach. Unlike
baseball diamonds and football fields that conform to rigid standards,
golf courses are each designed by golf course architects and designers
who take into account the natural features of the land. They put as much
thought into the landscape and surroundings as they do to the placement
of the holes and the greens. Thus, golf courses are among the most
beautiful manufactured landscapes in the world.
Know Your Artists
A
few artists have made it their life’s work to specialize in painting
the famous golf courses of the world. Their golf course paintings are
far more than a mere picture of a golf course. They are gorgeous works
of art that manage to convey the beauty and the challenge inherent in
each of the golf course pictures they choose to paint. Among the most
famous golf course artists are Linda Hartough and Marci Rule, whose golf
course art hangs in internationally known museums and collections held
by such august organizations as the Augusta National Golf Club, home of
the Masters Tournament.
If
you’re a fan of humor, there are a few artists who have specialized in
golf cartoons that highlight the frustrations and funny moments that any
golfer will recognize. Artist Ben Lightfoot is among the best known of
these artists, and his Canyon series of golf cartoons are an ideal
accent for your golf room or for a sports-themed bar.
