Painter Of The Back Nine

“An artist virtually unknown in the world of art, Linda Hartough is considered the country’s most distinguished painter of golf — and yet even that distinction characterizes her work too broadly. Ms. Hartough paints golf landscapes — the azaleas of Augusta National, the tall grass of Shinnecock Hills and St. Andrews, the contours of Carmel Bay at Pebble Beach. Golf balls, putters and Phil Mickelson or a surgeon in midswing wield no interest for her.”
