Golf Art Golfer Bubba Watson painting
Bubba Watson is currently ranked 3rd in the World Golf
Rankings. The painting is approximately
4 feet by 8 feet, acrylic on unstretched canvas.
My current interest in golf is limited to watching a few
holes of golf on TV on a Sunday afternoon.
I shouldn't really say I watch the golf - I use it as a way of relaxing
after working hard in the yard. My wife
thinks that I like golf - that I watch it to keep current on a category of sports
for my work. As you probably already
know, I'm a sports artist and have been making a living at it for quite a
number of years. It is important to know
what is going on with different sports - but golf? It is hard for me to keep track of the
players. It doesn't help that I usually
fall asleep on the couch when I should be paying more attention to the game.
My history with golf is somewhat short. I managed
a golf driving range when I was in college, I never played the game, and my ex- father-in-law was a scratch golf
player who played (at the time) the longest golf game in history. Now, what does that mean, "the longest
golf game in history."
When he was in
college and on the USC golf team an opportunity became available for him to do
a publicity stunt - of sorts. I never
knew why or for what reason but somehow he got connected with "Riply's
Believe it Or Not" to play the
longest golf game. My understanding is
that he went out to the LA Country Club, (a bit prestigious) and where his dad was a member and played the
first hole. He then was driven to the LA
airport (LAX) and flew to Phoenix ,
Arizona
