A $500 Driver and a 5¢ Swing = SLICE


Between creating my player portrait and golfscape images, I enjoy refreshing my mind by "doodling" more light-hearted drawings, using as my model the amateur hackers out there who all love the game fiercely but have some flawed, high-score swings. In this drawing I am teasing the player who spends top money on the best equipment out there, like the latest driver, but never spends a dime on taking a few lessons from their local PGA Professional, which would help tremendously in keeping their ball in the fairway, lowering their scores and with enjoying the game even more. A $500 club is not going to fix a 5¢ swing. (But hey, the club manufacturers are not going to turn down a sale!)

This drawing was created with oil crayon and pastel on unbleached paper... and can be seen in the "amateurs" gallery on my golf art web site.
This new golf art print by artist Steven Anthony Salerno is available in a limited edition at sasgolf.com
