Royal Lytham & St Annes Paintings and Prints

Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, on the Lancashire coast of northwest England, was founded in 1886 and moved to its present site in 1897, when the club's first professional, George Lowe, laid out the course. Harry Colt carried out major revisions in 1919 and in the 1930s.

Lytham is an unusual links. Houses and a railway line surround it, and although the Irish Sea is close by, it cannot be seen from the course. It is also the only course on The Open rotation that begins with a par 3. What it lacks in views it makes up for in bunkers, which are numerous and placed to catch the ordinary shot as well as the poor one. The golf writer Bernard Darwin called it "a beast of a course, but a just beast." The round finishes at the 18th, a par 4 lined with bunkers and played toward the large red-brick clubhouse.

The first Open at Lytham, in 1926, was won by Bobby Jones. On the 17th he played a long shot from a sandy scrub area to the green on his way to victory, and a plaque marks the spot. The club has hosted The Open eleven times, most recently in 2012; Seve Ballesteros won two of them, in 1979 and 1988. Lytham also hosted the Ryder Cup in 1961 and 1977, the Walker Cup in 2015 and the Women's Open.

Linda Hartough has painted the 18th and clubhouse, offered in two editions.

The collection holds 2 Royal Lytham & St Annes prints, available as canvas giclées and open edition digital prints, in limited editions, artist proofs and open editions, in sizes from 11"x14" to 21"x36".
