Golf Pictures and Golf Landscapes for Decorating

Are you looking for the perfect finishing touch for a golf room? Golf pictures, including golf course photos, pictures of the legends of golf and golf art by some of the world’s most renowned golf artists are the ideal golf room décor. Here’s what to look for in quality golf pictures and golf memorabilia.
Golf Art
A number of artists have made their names painting the most famous golf courses and golf hole, including Marci Rule and Linda Hartough, two of the best known names in the world of golf art. Their golf course pictures hang on the walls of some of the best-known golf clubs and the homes of many famous golfers. If you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch for a room devoted to golf and golf memorabilia, a Marci Rule or Linda Hartough print may be exactly what you want.
Augusta Golf Art
Each year, the best names in golf gather at the Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters Tournament. Augusta, designed by one of the legends of golf, Robert “Bobby” Jones, is a stunning setting, famed nearly as much for its beauty as it is for the tournament held there. In 1984, Linda Hartough was commissioned to paint Azalea, the 13th hole at Augusta. The commission launched her career as a golf artist. In the years since, Hartough has painted more than 25 Augusta art scenes, including views of each hole from multiple perspectives. During Masters Week 2012, Hartough’s paintings hung in the exhibit “Fore! Images in Golf Art” at the Morris Museum of Southern Art. The exhibit included five watercolors and three oil paintings by Hartough among other golf pictures by such famed artists as Leroy Neiman.
Among the Hartough golf art favorites are several views of Augusta #12, Golden Bell, and Augusta #13, Azalea.
Marci Rule, the world of golf’s other famous woman painter, has also painted the most famous holes of golf at Augusta National, including separate paintings of the three holes that make up the Amen Corner at Augusta. Rule may be better known, however, for her paintings of Pebble Beach, Hazeltine and Pinehurst Country Club.
Golf paintings and golf memorabilia are the perfect game room décor for a golfer who appreciates both fine art and the artistry of the golf course designer. Whether you choose oil paintings or watercolors by artists like Rule and Hartough, or signed photographs of the famous holes of golf, golf pictures can be the ideal finishing touch for your golf-themed room.
