Father’s day was first proclaimed in 1910, but it was not until 1972 that it became a nationwide holiday. If you’re celebrating Father’s day, the question of gifts often comes up. Ideas abound, but if you know the special man in your life is an avid golfer or an aspiring one, why not consider golf art? It will be the perfect sentiment for a day designated to express appreciation, love and gratitude. Golf art will grace his walls and he will be reminded of the gift giver (yes, that's you!) every time he looks at it. Consider these golf art for dad:
Golf Scene
A beautiful golf course, set on rolling plains, beside a lake perhaps. Or a postcard-perfect picture of ice-capped mountains in the far distance with manicured greens, framed by trees. A picturesque turf-meets-surf scene set in Hawaii or one on the hills? The truth is pictures of golf courses are not just beautiful to look at, they offer an escape---the go-to place when a little dreaming is needed, perhaps when work becomes demanding or life is too much.
Vintage Golf Scene
Perhaps your dad appreciates antiques and throwbacks to the good old days. He collects antique golf paraphernalia and enjoys learning more about the history of golf. If that’s the case, why not consider vintage golf pictures? It can be one with a light humor like Free Golf (with the caption “Play golf free while getting your suit pressed.") or a single picture of golf clubs and golf balls in sepia tone. Vintage golf pictures make for a classic collection that will withstand the whims of change and style.
Golf Word Art
Words are clever little things. They can make you laugh; cry, pine, wishful or they can inspire or take you to that special place in your heart that no one can go. Golf word art uses words to express golf sentiments, whether they are observations that ring true or just telling as it is. For instance, Karen Tribett Golf (Golf: Where you yell “fore,” shoot “six,” write “five.”) may strike a chord with golfers.
Golf Shots Series
Capture the many faces and stances of golfers with golf art. From a picture of concentration to one of anticipation as the ball tees off, the golf shots series capture the different moods and stances well from the Sand shot to The Drive to The Putt. Buy a series to create that visual effect – a gift so priceless, it will make your dad proud.
