Golf Art – Becoming As Popular As the Game Itself

As the sport of  golf  continues to grow in popularity around the world, the popularity of  Golf  Art is mirroring the growth in popularity of the sport itself. And it is a great way to preserve the heritage of great players, great courses, and great equipment. It is consensus among many that a small group of images represent the very best of  Golf  Art, and we will discuss those in more detail later.

For those hobbyists who concentrate on antique  golf , prints and course pictures come together nicely with their antique  golf  clubs and other  golf  collectibles to effectively produce a very nice little self contained  golf  gallery. For the true aficionado of this great sport and its rich history, little can match the effect that a great  golf  print can have to compliment a  golf  decor.

 Golf  Art is a great way to express yourself. It allows you to display the people and the places related to the game that are nearest and dearest to your heart. Whether it is  golf  course art or a  golf  painting of one of your heroes, or a  golf  print which beautifully represents a classic piece of equipment, it can change the look and feel of your office, your den, your finished basement, or anyplace you choose.

Many  professionals place allot of weight on a piece if it is a signed original. Whether or not that should be a priority for you is really a matter of your ultimate goals. If you expect that one day you might be more than just a casual collector of framed  golf  art, for instance, and become active in buying, selling, or trading in the  golf  print and  golf  picture arena, the signatures become more important. Artists Proofs, where the artist physically amends the print by hand will also increase the collectability of a  golf  print.

In addition to items which are purchased or traded from others, another popular area of  golf  art is related to pieces developed personally using personal  golf  items that represent a pleasant memory or significant event in your  golfing  experiences. Collectors have framed  golf  scorecards, majestically displayed those  golf  balls that produced that hole in one, and have even come up with countless, creative and attractive ways to keep that old  golf  club around long after it’s days on the course are finished.
