Whether for Father's Day, a birthday, a graduation or just because, if your dad is a golfer or
golfing fan, golf pictures make a great gift.
Golf art is fast becoming one of the most collectible types of sports
memorabilia you’ll find anywhere. Unlike the memorabilia associated with
other sports, golf pics tend to be real art, not jerseys and sports
equipment hung on the wall. Here are just a few of the most popular
types of golf pictures your favorite golfer might appreciate.
Golfer Photos
The best golf photos are those
that commemorate the legends of golf and their greatest moments. From a
photo of the famous Ben Hogan golf swing at the 1950 US Open or the
well-known Ben Hogan golf swing series that illustrated the perfect
swing to autographed photos of Bubba Watson, this year’s Master’s
winner, you’ll find photos of nearly any famous golfer you can think of.
Chances are, he’d flip for an
autographed photo to hang on the wall of his man room or den.
Golf History and Celebrity Golf
One
of the beauties of golf is that you don’t have to be recruited to a
professional team to play. Any person can pick up a set of clubs and hit
the links – and throughout the history of Hollywood and our country,
many celebrities have done just that. Some of the most famous golf pics
of all time are pictures of celebrity golfers – not just the Jack
Nicklauses and Arnold Palmers, but the Jackie Gleasons and the Bob Hopes
and the Dwight D. Eisenhowers who earned celebrity in other venues, but
shared the dream of playing a great game of golf.
Golf Course Art
Some
of the most beautiful golf pictures aren’t of the people who play but
of the golf courses that are the true stars of the sport. Every golfer
knows that he doesn’t play against other golfers – he plays against the
architect who designed the course and against the hazards and greens and
roughs. Golf artists like Linda Hartough and
Marci Rule are masters of capturing the heart of golf course and the
beauty that draws many golfers to the game. Their stunning landscapes of
some of the world’s most famous holes deserve a place on the wall of
your golfer's study, where he can imagine himself in the picture, golf bag
in tow and golf club in hand.
