Old Man Tracy of Tracy and Tracy, 1926

Humor is integral to the game of golf—anyone who has played it knows that elements of the absurd and ridiculous are, indeed, “par for the course”—and humorists often use it as a subject, parodying the game that Mark Twain once called “a good walk spoiled.” The subject of golf was a perfect match for Norman Rockwell, whose style is distinguished by great attention to detail and a love of the anecdotal vignette. This wonderful piece combines his signature sense of humor with the American love for the game of golf.

John Shippen, undated In 1896 John Shippen (1879–1968) became the first African American golfer to compete in the U.S. Open. He was sixteen years old when he entered the event at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club. Protests were raised from both British and Scottish professionals in the field, but USGA president Theodore Havemeyer allowed Shippen to compete and he finished fifth.

Shippen played in five more U.S. Open championships and was the head professional at the Shady Rest Golf and Country Club in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, from 1924 to 1960. In 2009 the PGA of America granted him a posthumous membership.

Jack Nicklaus, 1977 Golfers’ celebrity status particularly appealed to Andy Warhol, who focused on everyday commercial objects—the iconic Campbell’s Soup can, greenstamps, or Brillo packing boxes. In 1977 investment banker and art collector Richard Weisman

commissioned Warhol to create a series of silkscreened canvases depicting famous athletes. Warhol’s Athletes Series presented the ten sports stars, including golfer Jack Nicklaus, as celebrity brands to be marketed and consumed by an eager public.

BOBBY’S CROWN Bourbon, St. Germain Elderflower Liquor, Lime, Cherry, Blood Orange Bitters Bobby Jones, 1926 In 1926 a group of prominent Atlanta businessmen commissioned Wayman Adams to commemorate Jones after he

won “The Double”—the U.S. Open and the British Open. The portrait was paid for by subscriptions to the Atlanta Georgian and the Sunday American and presented to Jones. One of the businessmen, J. J. Haverty, founder of Haverty’s Furniture and early supporter of the High, encouraged the artist in a letter, writing, “you are not making the portrait of sport, but of a young man with a high order of mental capacity, of wonderful concentration, self-control, culture, determination, and ambition.”

LADY ROSE Grey Goose Orange, Peach Liquor, Fresh Lemon, Rosewater

The Ladies' Club, 1886 Formed in 1867, the St Andrews Ladies Club grew to include 500 members within twenty years—a total close to that of the exclusively male Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrew’s membership of 795. Strict conventions governing acceptable dress meant that women were obliged to play in the restrictive, tightly laced, full-length clothes then deemed fashionable and appropriate. More practical golfing attire became popular at the turn of the century. Unknown Photographer, The Ladies’ Club, 1886, photograph, 14 1/8 x 22 3/8 inches. British Golf Museum.
