In 1984, Hartough was commissioned to do a painting of the 13th Hole at Augusta National. The painting turned out so well that she was commissioned to paint two more. Holes 16 and 18, thus beginning her career as a golf landscape artist. Her prints continue to sell out at the Masters and her personal goal is to paint every hole at the Augusta National.

Welcome to the Linda Hartough Studio
“I am the proud owner of several paintings by Linda Hartough, and each time I look at one I see something new. For all its realism, her work goes beyond being photographic. Her paintings always convey a strong sense of place, so that you feel, for example, the charm of St. Andrews or the majesty of Pebble Beach. A Linda Hartough painting makes me want to play.”
-Jack Nicklaus
“Whenever you see a Linda Hartough golf course rendering, you have to resist the urge to grab a club and drop a ball. Linda has the unique ability to capture, in a single solitary perspective, the very essence of the course itself”
-Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
“Linda is the golf world's premier laureate. There's a tranquility about her paintings that is absolutely beautiful. When you view them, the paintings have the effect of actually putting you there. They're beyond real.”
-Bob Carney, Golf Digest
“I really enjoy painting golf landscape. It is some of the most beautiful and varied landscape in the world combined with a deep, historical sense of tradition that transcends time. The painting is a success when both elements emerge.”
-Linda Hartough
“It's a challenge to make a great painting and still depict a golfer's favorite scene, but my goal is to make any work of art I create transcend the scene depicted. When you look at a golf hole, you have to see what players like about it - how a golfer plays it. Then you have to see it as a lanscape - as a work of fine art.”
-Linda Hartough
