Agrotain International, supplier of StabilizedNitrogen products, has announced its fourth painting in the Artistry of Golf collection. It’s the latest in a series of commissioned paintings paying tribute to the hard work and dedication of golf course superintendents throughout the world.
"This is our way of recognizing professionals who combine the best of science and intuition to successfully practice their art," explained Alan Nees, vice president of turf and ornamental sales. "The painting this year is especially unique because it’s our first time featuring an international course."
This year's painting, The Razor’s Edge, features Old Head Golf Links in County Cork, Ireland. Designed by Joe Carr and Ron Kirby, the course is built on a promontory that juts more than two miles into the Atlantic Ocean and sits atop cliffs that rise several hundred feet above the sea.
The painting by Sandra Cashman showcases Old Head’s fourth hole and features a 19th-century lighthouse situated just beyond the Stone of Accord. The Stone of Accord is historically significant as the place to secure important deals and reconcile after disputes.
Superintendents who visit Agrotain International’s booth number 4944 during the Golf Industry Show will receive a commemorative poster featuring the artwork while supplies last. Participants can also register to win one of 50 signed and numbered limited edition prints or the grand prize, the original framed oil painting.
The artist, Sandra Cashman, is one of the managing partners of EPIC Creative, a full-service marketing agency and production company specializing in the turf industry.
