The 13th Hole, No. 3 Course, 212 Yards, Par 3, Medinah Country Club, Medinah, Illinois
Medinah's exacting 13th Hole, picturesque as it may seem, has been the nemesis of amateur and professional alike. The steep green, buffered by water and sand, poses the kind of challenge for which the Open Championship is noted.

The celebrated par 3 fourth hole at Baltusrol's Lower Course, designed by A. W. Tillinghast and remodeled by Robert Trent Jones in the mid 50's, is beautifully depicted in this painting. Seen in the distance to the right is the championship tee from which a full carry over water is required to reach the green. The fourth hole, ranked among America's best, leaves no bail-out area, even for golf's greatest players. On the horizon among the trees, are the 187th and the clubhouse.

Oakmont's famous 18th hole, designed by William and Henry Fownes, is one of the finest finishing holes in golf. Heavy, thick rough borders its fairway; a slick, subtle-breaking green makes even par a fine result. Oakmont has hosted seven U.S. Opens highlighting its legendary difficulty.

The 16th Hole, 544 Yards, Par 5, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Southamption, New York
One of the highlights of the USGA's Centennial was the return of the U.S. Open Championship to Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, one of the USGA's original five member clubs. The first U.S. Open played here was in 1896 and the second Open came nine decades later in 1986. Golf at Shinnecock Hills is reminiscent of a traditional Scottish links course. Shinnecocks picturesque 16th Hole features a look up the fairway with the stately clubhouse designed by Stanford White in the background. The small green, isolated by rough that is well bunkered, slopes the golfers' left to right.

Welcome to the Linda Hartough Studio
“I am the proud owner of several paintings by Linda Hartough, and each time I look at one I see something new. For all its realism, her work goes beyond being photographic. Her paintings always convey a strong sense of place, so that you feel, for example, the charm of St. Andrews or the majesty of Pebble Beach. A Linda Hartough painting makes me want to play.”
-Jack Nicklaus
“Whenever you see a Linda Hartough golf course rendering, you have to resist the urge to grab a club and drop a ball. Linda has the unique ability to capture, in a single solitary perspective, the very essence of the course itself”
-Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
“Linda is the golf world's premier laureate. There's a tranquility about her paintings that is absolutely beautiful. When you view them, the paintings have the effect of actually putting you there. They're beyond real.”
-Bob Carney, Golf Digest
“I really enjoy painting golf landscape. It is some of the most beautiful and varied landscape in the world combined with a deep, historical sense of tradition that transcends time. The painting is a success when both elements emerge.”
-Linda Hartough
“It's a challenge to make a great painting and still depict a golfer's favorite scene, but my goal is to make any work of art I create transcend the scene depicted. When you look at a golf hole, you have to see what players like about it - how a golfer plays it. Then you have to see it as a lanscape - as a work of fine art.”
-Linda Hartough
