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.
