Fore! 3 Great Golf Cities


  1.        Rochester, New York – With 64 public courses available to you, you’ll have a hard time deciding whether you want to grab some pizza or go for another round. While it may get cold, at $38 dollars to walk, you can’t get a better deal anywhere else.
  2.     .   Orlando, Florida – Wait on Disney World and cash in on Orlando’s 86 public courses. With half of Orlando being part of the PGA tour, you’ll be playing like a pro in no time!
  3.        Austin, Texas – While it may only have 32 public courses, Austin still is one of the best golf cities. What it lacks in public courses, it makes up for in year round playability. Austin is a great place to golf no matter what time of year it is!

Collecting Golf Art on the Fringes

Golf art is emerging as one of the more collectible art genres, which is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it’s exciting to see golf scenes and golf course art enjoying the attention of a wider audience. On the other hand, the most traditional golf memorabilia – golfer photos, golf autographs and golf course paintings – are rising in price. While golf art is still quite affordable in contrast to other sports memorabilia – which makes golf pictures a great investment – it is certainly more expensive than it was a few years ago. There are still, however, specific niches within the golf art world where you can find some great bargains. These niches are especially attractive if you’re more interested in buying golf memorabilia as, say, game room décor or just for the enjoyment value.
Golf Cartoons
Golf has its funny side and no one captures with quite the same panache as cartoon artist Ben Lightfoot. Lightfoot, an avid golfer, has created a unique style of cartoon characters – the Banana Bunch – painted against stunning photo backgrounds as they bumble their way through the golf course. Every golfer will recognize the humorous situations taken to the ridiculous, such as the spider-webbed lady golfer who takes forever to line up her putt. They’re very affordable, making them a great choice for game room décor or as a gift for your favorite golf enthusiast.
Vintage Golfer Photos
Capture the nostalgia of another era with beautifully framed black and white vintage golf photographs. This particular golf memorabilia niche is greatly underappreciated, making them a very affordable accent for any setting in your home or professional setting. They provide a note of charm that is far too often missing in today’s world. You can find anything from photos of famous golfers to delightful scenes of young children trying their hand at the very grownup game.
Golf Movie Posters
Some of the most popular movies in recent times have golf as a central theme. Golf movie posters from movies like “Caddyshack,” “The Caddy” and “Tin Cup” are an anomaly – golf memorabilia and movie memorabilia in one glossy, full-color, oversized package. Signed or unsigned, they’re not only affordable, they’re a lot of fun, and make a great accent in your entertainment room or media center.
If you’re looking for unusual collectible golf art, look beyond the more traditional golf course photographs and golf autographs to find something that’s truly unique.

Golf Course Pictures Help Set a Professional Mood

Are you looking for artwork for your office, board room or other professional setting? Consider golf course pictures. Golf course photographs and paintings are more than just golf memorabilia. Why hang a picture of a golf course in your place of business? Here are just a few of the reasons.
Beautify Your Office Space
Golf greens are among the most beautifully landscaped and picturesque vistas in the world, which means golf course pictures are beautiful landscapes. You can choose from photographs and paintings, either original or as signed or unsigned prints. Choose a golf course photograph or painting in a frame that suits your office décor and you can be sure that it will add a classic touch to your professional space.
Invoke a Mood
Golf course pictures come in all sorts of moods, so it’s easy to choose one that invokes the emotions you want to subliminally produce in the room. Want the mood peaceful and serene? Choose a view of Augusta #12, the Golden Bell hole, on a sunny day – or, for that matter, just about any hole on the famous golf course that hosts the Masters. When it comes to art, Augusta holds a special place in the market. The golf club regularly commissions artists to create works of art featuring each hole. Aside from those paintings, you can find dramatic vistas of windswept cliffs as seen from the links, or a profoundly emotional view of the Swilcan Bridge, looking back at the St. Andrews links, at sunrise, sunset or under the moonlight.
Make an Investment
Golf course art has both aesthetic and intrinsic value. Paintings by a well-known golf artist like Linda Hartough or Marci Rule, particularly originals or signed series prints, are likely to increase in value over the years. Both accomplished artists have painted views of Augusta #12 and many other famous golf courses over the years, and their work has appreciated in value.
Start a Conversation
A picture of a golf course is a great conversation starter. If you do business with other golfers – and who doesn’t? – they’re likely to recognize famous holes and courses. Some may have stories to share of their own exploits on a particular golf course, while others may talk about their dreams of someday playing that course or their memories of watching a golf match where one of the legends of golf or another met the challenges – or failed to conquer it.
Accessible to Everyone
You don’t have to be a golf enthusiast to enjoy golf course pictures. Golfers may have extra knowledge to appreciate the relative difficulty of a hole or have memories to place the golf photograph in context, but everyone likes to look at the majestic landscapes of golf courses throughout the world.

Using golf to decorate a man cave

Perhaps you want to surprise your boyfriend or husband and do up a man cave for his birthday or Christmas.  While it is a great gesture, you must know there is a fine art to decorating such a sacred space and you must do it right, if your man is going to love his new space.
The first thing you want to do when considering the space you wish to decorate as a man cave is never to use flowers, pastels or anything which remotely reeks of the female gender.  A well planned, coordinated and stylish space will bring more pleasure than one that has just been randomly thrown together.  First things first, let’s pick a theme, let’s go with golf art.
You don’t have to be a feng shui expert to understand how decorating a man cave is not rock science, but it does require planning and thought.  You can get creative, but remember it is important to start small and to stick with your golf art theme throughout the area.
The man cave can be any room your man would like to set aside space to pursue his interests while entertaining his friends.  It can be an office, study, the basement or even an attic space.  Any of these spaces would be great and it gives your man his own private area for doing things guys like to do!
If your man loves golf, one way of decorating the space is to purchase some golf memorabilia to fill the walls.  These things can include golf autographs, golf course pictures, and other décor for the room which is themed around golf courses and their favorite players.
When you want to decorate a space for your hubby’s man cave, using golf memorabilia and decorations is a great way to incorporate all the things he loves and giving him a space he can call his very own.  With these ideas, you now have a great foundation for helping to create an inviting space where your hubby or boyfriend can entertain all his friends in style.
