553 Premium: The Only Artist Commissioned by both the USGA & R&A for the Majors with Linda Hartough

553: Here’s another fascinating story of someone who has found a way to make a living in golf without playing golf. Linda Hartough is a landscape painter who has recreated some of the world's most beautiful golf holes. She is the only artist ever commissioned by the USGA and the R&A Golf Club of St. Andrews to do their annual, official paintings and prints for the U.S. Open and British Open Championships. She has painted prestigious golf courses from the U.S. to Scotland to Hong Kong. Her paintings have earned a place on two ABC Television Golf Specials on famous golf holes hosted by Jack Nicklaus.
