Spelter Pre-Swing Male Vardon Likeness Unmarked Golfer Statue - Hal Ludlow Inspired
Inspired by the highly prized Hal Ludlow Harry Vardon statue is this spelter composed unmarked statue. The main difference, other than the artist of course, is this is a left-handed example at the height of his back-swing with the ball on the ground. Comparing the two statues down to the flap of jacket blowing in the wind, Ludlow almost certainly influenced this example. Harry Vardon was the "father of the modern golf swing." One of the greatest players in golf history and one of those most responsible for popularizing the game. As the leading member of the "Great Triumvirate," with James Braid and J.H. Taylor, Vardon dominated the game in the late 19th century and early part of the 20th. A period that saw him notch a record, that remains intact one hundred years later, of six career British Open triumphs. Please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report. 14"
