Has Christmas crept up on you again, leaving you short one or two
gifts? If you’ve got golf fans on your list of gift recipients, there’s
still time to order custom-framed golf course pictures to hang over the bar or in the office.
Why Choose Golf Art For Your Favorite Golfers?
There
are a number of excellent reasons to choose a gift of golf art for your
favorite golfing fans. Whether they like to play or just enjoy standing
on the sidelines to watch, the subjects of most golf pictures are
familiar ones to those who love the game of kings.
Meaning and Sentiment
Aside
from the fact that many of the best golf scenes are absolutely stunning
landscapes, golf course art also has meaning for those who love the
sport. Most golfing fans will recognize a Linda Hartough painting of
Augusta #12, the Golden Bell hole at Augusta National, the home of the
Masters Tournament, or a photo of the Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course
at St. Andrews. There’s a heritage and a history behind those photos and
paintings that makes them mean so much more than just a pretty picture.
Value
You
can choose from beautiful paintings and signed prints by a golf artist
like Linda Hartough, Marci Rule and other famous golf artists. These
signed, numbered prints have an intrinsic value and are likely to
increase in value over the years. Golf autographs and golf memorabilia
also carry their own intrinsic value and are likely to increase in
value. Autographed photos of legends of golf like Robert “Bobby” Jones
are fairly rare and quite valuable, but golf autographs of such golfers
as Arnold Palmer, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus and Adam Scott, 2013
Masters Champion, are more plentiful and affordable.
Golf Photography
Few
golf photographers have acquired the name recognition enjoyed by Joann
Dost, whose photographs have graced the pages of GOLF magazine and the
walls of the USGA museum and the World Golf Hall of Fame. Her stunning
golf landscape photos have redefined the world of golf course art.
Another golf photographer of note is Steve Heit, who has photographed
golf courses and great moments in golf for more than 25 years. A
retrospective of his work would make an imaginative and very special
gift for any golf lover.
If you’re looking for an exceptional,
thoughtful gift for a golf lover in your life, take a virtual tour of a
golf art gallery to find golf course pictures and golf photographs that will delight them.
