An original limited edition fine art print by noted watercolor golf artist James Ellis. The bronze “Putter Boy” statue symbolizes Pinehurst. As the story is told, early advertisements for Pinehurst Golf Resort featured a drawing of a young boy called various names including “The Golf Lad,” and “The Golf Boy.” In 1912, Lucy Richards sculpted a sundial for the resort, using the drawing as the model for the bronze statue. Legend has it that Donald Ross himself demonstrated the proper golf grip and stance. The statue was known as “The Sundial Boy” until the 1970s, when “The Putter Boy” name was adopted. The Putter Boy resides inside the clubhouse. This is a giclee print on watercolor paper using archival inks and measures 13 x 19 inches. The print is hand signed and numbered by the artist. Ellis' works are featured at many fine golf clubs around the world including Shinnecock Hills, Winged Foot, Garden City, Bethpage, Merion, Sea Island, The Country Club and others. The colors are much more luminous than the low resolution JPEG is able to capture in this photo. This piece is unframed.
