As the McGladrey Classic gets underway I am reminded that golf is much more than just a game. The game of golf has inspired artists since the sport first began.
Charles Lees finished his painting, “The Golfers”, set on the St. Andrews Golf Course in 1847, which depicted one of the first grand matches.
Sir John Lavery painted this colorful piece, “Golfing at North Berwick”. Both pieces have been part of “The Art of Golf” show which has been shown in major art museums all over the U.S. over the past couple of years.
St. Simons Island is no exception when it comes to getting in the game!
Davis Love Jr.
Marion Snyder, local artist, offers two of her paintings to commemorate the 2013 McGladrey Classic. Her portrait of Davis Love Jr is so life like it looks like a photograph.
Jim Jones is also one of the artists displaying his work at the Left Bank Art Gallery. His technique reminds me of some of the works displayed in The Art of Golf show, beautifully painted and framed.

The island is into the game, residents have their tickets for events and the actual tournament tees off on Thursday, November 7th. If you live in the area or are here just for the tournament take the time to see this lovely exhibit! Any of the works would make the perfect addition to a collection and serve as a reminder of a great event!
