A society of golfers was, apparently, organized in Savannah, Georgia, in 1796. But it wasn’t until 1888 that the first permanent club, the St. Andrew’s Golf Club, was organized in Yonkers, New York, by John Reid and a group of associates. Ever since then, the game has been celebrated by artists and illustrators, who have sought to capture the unique aesthetics and nature of the game. Fore!: Images in Golf celebrates both the game and the special place that it holds in Augusta.
The exhibition is organized by the Morris Museum with the assistance of Harmon-Meek Gallery in Naples, Florida.
