Shivas Irons Society Announces a New Affiliation with Renowned Golf Landscape Artist Linda Hartough

The Shivas Irons Society announced today that it has entered into an agreement to represent the work of world-renowned golf landscape artist Linda Hartough.

Ms. Hartough is the only artist ever commissioned by both the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews to do the annual, official paintings and prints for the U.S. Open and British Open championships. She has painted the official US Open commemorative image annually since 1990.

Steve Cohen, president of the Shivas Irons Society, said, "We are proud and excited for this opportunity. Linda's golf landscapes have been acknowledged as masterworks by collectors and clubs around the world. This is an important step for us toward creating an online gallery of fine art and photography that will represent our long-held intention to be a vehicle for all of the creative arts inspired by the game of golf."
