 8th Hole, Lake Course, 200 Yards, Par 3, The Olympic Club, San Francisco, California
Established in 1860, The Olympic Club is the oldest athletic club in the U.S. and is recognized as one of the first 100 golf clubs in the country. Designed by Willie Watson and Sam Whiting in 1924, the Lake Course was rebuilt by Whiting in 1927 after significant storm damage, and later modified by Robert Trent Jones and Bill Love. The club has hosted eight previous USGA championships, including four memorable U.S. Opens. The most recent was in 1998, when Lee Janzen overcame a seven-stroke deficit to Payne Stewart by birdieing four of the final 15 holes to claim his second U.S. Open victory. Previous U.S. Open winners include Scott Simpson in 1987, Billy Casper in 1966 (in a memorable comeback over Arnold Palmer), and unheralded Jack Fleck in 1955 (in a shocking playoff defeat of four-time champion Ben Hogan). Olympic was also the site of the 1958 U.S. Amateur, 1981 U.S. Amateur (won by Nathanial Crosby, son of the legendary entertainer Bing Crosby), 2004 U.S. Junior Amateur and 2007 U.S. Amateur.

New in 2010: The 12th Hole, 'Golden Bell', Augusta National Golf Club by Linda Hartough is now available on canvas measuring 21" x 36".
|
The 12th Hole of the Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most famous holes in golf. The play of this difficult hole has determined the outcome of many Masters Tournaments. The swirling winds, Rae's Creek and the green angle makes club selection paramount. The green, guarded with a deep bunker in the front and two bunkers in the rear, is only nine yards deep in the center. En route to the green the player crosses Ben Hogan bridge. In March, the yellow flowered Golden Bell, Forsythia intermedia, blooms behind the green.

The 13th Hole, "Azalea", Par 5, 485 Yards, Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia
The 13th hole of Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most exciting in golf. After placing the tee shot around the corner of the dogleg, the player has the option of either laying up short of the creek fronting the green, or going for the green in two. Image size is 15 3/8" x 27". The 13th is the last and most colorful of the Amen Corner holes. Over 1600 azaleas blanket the hillside to the left of the fairway. When these azaleas, along with the white dogwoods, are in full bloom, the 13th hole proudly announces the arrival of spring. World renowned golf artist, Linda Hartough, has captured the player's view of the approach to the green in a most dramatic and accurate way. She was commissioned by the Augusta National Golf Club because of her outstanding talent of showing not only the artistry, but also the undulations and characteristics of the hole.

 The 16th Hole, "Redbud", 170 Yards, Par 3, Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia
The Redbud, Cercis canadensis, is one of the taller of Augusta's flowering trees. The small pink flowers appear early in spring and the fifty or so trees which enhance this hole make a delightful show. The scoring on this difficult but scenic hole has been the deciding factor in many Masters Championships. Originally a short, undramatic par three, it was reworked in 1947 by Robert Trent Jones and now plays across a long pond to a fiendish target - not just the green but the correct sector of the green for a ridge slices the surface into two tiers. The tee shot is made more intimidating by the presence of three bunkers, with the right-rear being the most fearsome on the course. Serigraph prints possess incredible beauty and intense color. You can glimpse the layering effect you get from a serigraph print from certain angles that are simply breathtaking! This painstaking print style paired with the unmistakable image of Augusta 16 is a must for the true collector of fine art.

 The 18th Hole, Harbour Town Golf Links, Par 4, 450 Yards, Sea Pines Resort Hilton Head Island, SC
Thanks to the familiar candy-striped lighthouse at the end of the 18th hole, the Harbour Town Golf Links is one of the most recognizable courses in America. In addition to its scenic backdrop, the 18th Hole is as treacherous as it is famous. Only inspired shotmaking can transcend a fairway bordered by the salt marshes and waters of the scenic Calibogue Sound. The Pete Dye designed Harbour Town has received accolades from the American Society of Golf Course Architects, who named it one of the top three American courses built since 1962. In addition, Golf Magazine ranks Harbour Town as "one of the top thirty in the world," while Sports Illustrated refers to this gem as "nothing short of a work of art." Harbour Town has also played host to the PGA Tour's Heritage Golf Classic since 1969 where Arnold Palmer won the inaugural event, beginning a tradition unsurpassed in professional golf history.

The 7th Hole, Pebble Beach Golf Links, Par 3, 107 Yards, Pebble Beach, California
Host to several prestigious U.S. Opens, its famous seventh Hole is considered by experts to be one of the most challenging and beautiful par 3's in existence. It plays downhill to a green squeezed onto a tiny spit of land, a green on which waves crash, a green which at its narrowest point is only eight steps wide. It's the shortest hole in major championship golf, but yard for yard, it is the hardest hole in the world.

The 18th Hole, Pebble Beach Golf Links - 543 Yards, Par 5
The 18th hole is a medium length par 5 (over 550 yards) with Pacific Ocean all along the left. What may be the greatest closing hole in golf was originally an unremarkable par 4. In 1922, William Herbert Fowler added almost 200 yards to the hole. This unique hole also features a tree in the middle of the fairway and a long 100+ yard bunker running along the ocean from the green, guarding the left side.

The 17th Hole, "The Road Hole", The Old Course, 461 Yards, Par 4, The Royal and Ancient Golf Club Of St. Andrews
The most famous golf tournament in the world returns to an equally famous golf course - The Old Course at St. Andrews - every few years. First played here in 1873, the tournament was won by Tom Kidd with a score of 179 from a then-record entry of 26 players. "The Road Hole," scene of so many historic shots, great and ghastly, plays havoc in the player's mind with the very thought of the gathering deadly embrace of the Road Bunker, and the awareness of the macadamized hazard beyond the green.

The Swilcan Bridge, The Old Course at St Andrews
The golf world's penultimate landmark - The Swilcan Bridge crossing the Swilcan Burn on the 18th Hole of The Old Course at St. Andrews - marks the first time that Linda Hartough has focused her considerable talents on both an historic structure and a breathtaking course landscape. From Old Tom Morris and Wille Park, to Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods, the Swilcan Bridge has come to represent the crowning moment of each Open Championship played at The Old Course. As the player crests the Swilcan Bridge and pauses to acknowledge the spectators, flashbulbs erupt and the images resonate through history. Linda's unique perspective - which transcends any photographic image - captures not only this hallowed stone bridge, but also the intrinsic beauty of the Village of St. Andrews. With the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse looming majestically in the background, The Swilcan Bridge is sure to become one of Linda's most recognized works.

10th Hole, "Dinna Fouter", 452 Yards, Par 4, The Turnberry Golf Club, Turnberry, Scotland
The Turnberry Hotel, in Scotland's south west Ayrshire coast, was built at the turn of the century and has maintained its' tradition of Edwardian elegance. The inaugural Open Golf Championship of 1977 culminated in the now historical shoot-out between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus, with Watson the eventual winner. In that Turnberry is beyond compare is probably best summed up in a tribute by Henry Longhurst, by saying that, "in those long periods inseparable from wartime service, when there is nothing to do but sit and think, I used often to find myself sitting and thinking of the time when once again we might be playing at Turnberry."
