#16th Hole At Shinnecock Hills 

37" x  28"

One of the highlights of the USGA's Centennial was the return of the U.S. Open Championship to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, one of the USGA's original five member clubs. The first U.S. Open played here was in 1896 and the second Open came nine decades later in 1986. 

Golf at Shinnecock Hills is reminiscent of a traditional Scottish links course. Shinnecocks picturesque 16th Hole features a look up the fairway with the stately clubhouse designed by Stanford White in the background. The small green, isolated by rough that is well bunkered, slopes the golfers' left to right.

Since focusing her skills as a landscape painter to recreate some of the world's most beautiful golf holes, Linda Hartough has become recognized as one of golf's leading artists. So extraordinary and realistic is her attention to detail that her oil paintings seem to come alive with a clarity that surpasses the camera.

Hartough's work has gained international fame. She is the only artist ever commissioned by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to do the annual paintings and prints for the U.S. Open and British Open Championships. She has painted prestigious golf courses from the U.S. to Scotland to Hong Kong. Her paintings are so admired that they have earned a place on two ABC Television Golf Specials on famous golf holes, hosted by Jack Nicklaus. Her paintings are in the collections of such famous clubs as Augusta National, Pine Valley and Laurel Valley. Hartough originals are also included in the private collections of Jack Nicklaus and Rees Jones.

Linda says "I really enjoy painting golf landscape,” Hartough said. “It is some of the most beautiful and varied landscape in the world, combined with a deep historical sense of tradition that transcends time.
