"Alps" Golf Course Print by Thad Layton

Regular price $95.00

Unit price per 

Still in existence today, the 17th at Prestwick Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland is the original “Alps” is. As the name implies, the key feature of this template is an imposing mass short of the target that refuses to be ignored, often obscuring the green from view. Strategy rules on a well-designed Alps where the hole must be considered in its fullness all the way back to the teeing ground for success. While the purest forms of this hole include a hidden bunker over the hill, my favorite interpretations of this template incorporate a form of “strategic blindness”, where the target is in sight from the teeing ground but tucked from view from certain angles on the approach. The 6th at St. Enodoc, named “Himalaya”, the third at National Golf Links of America, and Old Macdonald’s 16th are great examples of this clever hide and seek design.


Size: 20" wide x 16" tall

Personalization

Head Covers & Towels

The majority of our head covers and towels allow the option to add a customized leather label sewn onto it. We use a vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Oregon Leather Company and can inscribe virtually any single color text or logo (that you own the rights to) onto the leather. Most golfers get their initials, name, or favorite word/saying. The artwork is burned into the leather in a process that is similar to the branding process.

You've found the perfect gift for the golfer in your life, why not include a little extra Seamus touch? Our tartan gift wrapping is made from hand-selected, limited-quantity fabrics and are made to present as well as they wear.
