The Art of Golf and Country Clubs (Tournaments and Anniversaries - The Elegant Way to Celebrate)

Message from the Artist

On my painting tours of Golf and Country Clubs I have the pleasure of meeting many golfers and collectors of Golf Art. One question keeps coming up in conversation. "Is there an affordable way to create a beautiful oil painting of our course?"

Well, not only can it be affordable; it can be self-financing and yield a profit for your Club. We work together to choose the artwork you want, and I work with you through each stage of the creative process to ensure you get the most out of our collaboration.

In addition to the original painting I provide you with a quantity of limited edition prints, signed and numbered in a format to suit your needs. Find out more by visiting my website. Contact details can be found on the back of this brochure.

Illustrated here are a few examples of my paintings for clients in the USA and overseas. I hope you like them and I look forward to working with you to create unique artwork for your Club and for posterity.

CONGRESSIONAL COUNTRY CLUB - BETHESDA, MARYLAND

1995 US SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

THE 15TH - PENINSULA

This view was selected to show the magnificent setting for this famous course which, over the years, has been a regular host to the US Open Championship. The painting captures the freshness of springtime and the expectation of some wonderful golf. Across the lake is the 18th green and to the left is the white nesting box, which along with the geese, is a feature to be seen on the closing holes of the Blue course.

THE OLD COURSE - ST. ANDREWS

ON THE OCCASION OF THE 2000 OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP

THE 17TH HOLE - ROAD HOLE

This classic view of St. Andrews includes the road from which the 17th takes its name. Along with the pot bunker as a companion, the road makes this hole the most treacherous on the Old Course, the hole where championships can be won or lost.

This painting was featured as a double spread by the Daily Telegraph in its 2000 Open Championship golf supplement with the title "Unique majesty of Golf's most famous landscape."

LOCH LOMOND

SCOTLAND 2001

18TH AND CLUBHOUSE FROM THE 17TH GREEN

The beauty of Loch Lomond is legendary and a visit to the now famous golf course that carries its name will not disappoint, no matter how high the expectations. This view from the 17th green looks across to the promontory where the 18th and Clubhouse are situated. From here there is a good view of the boathouse and distant islands. Ben Lomond is a few miles north on the far side of the loch and although it is not seen, its presence is felt.

CHEROKEE TOWN AND COUNTRY CLUB - ATLANTA, GEORGIA

1999 US WOMEN'S MID AMATEUR TOURNAMENT

NORTH COURSE - THE 14TH

The north course at Cherokee was re-modelled by Tom Fazio in the run-up to the tournament. The painting shows the 14th which is a short downhill par 3 over the lake. Beyond the green are beds of azaleas backed by a curtain of red myrtle. Tall pines reflected in the water contribute to the tranquillity at this point, where the course turns right to the 15th on the way home.
