Old Tom Morris, St. Andrews' Giclee Print On Canvas by Bernard Willington


Old Tom Morris colorfully depicted by Bernard Willington in with his club addressing the ball in the bunker in this professionally presented giclée on canvas in a black and silver frame. The British Open winner, club maker, green-keeper, and course designer was perhaps the most influential figure in the history of golf. Allan Robertson taught Tom the golf trade, from making feathery golf balls to clubs. After leaving St. Andrews in 1851 to his new position at Prestwick Golf Club, he eventually returned in 1865. With the new skills learned at Prestwick, Tom went about rejuvenating St Andrews by establishing separate tee boxes on each hole, widening the fairways, enlarging the greens and building two new ones and actively managing the hazards. Tom introduced many of the course design ideas that are the blue print for today's modern designers, creating the 18 hole course (St Andrews had originally 22 holes) and having each nine holes return to the club house.

"In 1988 Bernard's work came to the attention of the Old Course Hotel at St Andrews when he was working on a view of the town from the links. He was commissioned to paint a 3ft x 7ft version of the same view for one of the public rooms at the hotel. His work blossomed from there and he is renowned for his works of famous golf courses from around the world -- Augusta, Royal Troon, Carnoustie, and Turnberry, just to name a few," Willington's artist biography on Facebook mentions. 15" x 21 1/2"
