■ What is Golf Art?
In Japan and the West, the social perception of golf as a game or sport, and its history of development, differ greatly. Similarly, the recognition of golf as a culture also feels somewhat different.
Of course, in Japan, the history and anecdotes of golf are widely conveyed in magazines, books, and TV programs, and many golfers enjoy watching them. However, the penetration of golf into daily life still seems relatively low.
For example, as far as I know, in America, people who love golf naturally incorporate golf motifs into their everyday furniture, crafts, stationery, clothing, and accessories. Furthermore, even in small golf courses in the suburbs, paintings of the course are displayed in the lobby and restaurant, and reproductions are sold in the pro shop for members who have an affection for the course. At golf courses with accommodation facilities, golf art is displayed throughout the hotel, and golf paintings are hung in each guest room.
I firmly believe that in Japan, where many people love golf, the cultural practice of golf art will also be widely embraced by many golfers.
