To celebrate the return of Jack Nicklaus to the Open Championship in July, St Andrews Links Golf Shops has introduced a limited edition print showing the Road Hole and the 18th green of the Old Course. Each of the 500 prints incorporates Nicklaus’s lithograph signature, the unmistakable Golden Bear emblem and the logo of the 2005 Open Championship.

Nicklaus’s relationship with the Old Course goes back to his first victory in 1970 when he said: “If a golfer is going to be remembered he must win the title at St Andrews. At last, it is my greatest dream come true.”

He went on to win here again in 1978, the only golfer since 1905 to win the Open twice at St Andrews. A record of the great man’s victories at the Home of Golf is included on the print, which is a panoramic lithograph by leading golf course photographer, Patrick Drickey.

Commenting on the prints, Peter Mason, director of St Andrews Links Golf Shops, said: “Jack has a special relationship with St Andrews and it will be an emotional occasion when he walks up the 18th fairway this year. The prints commemorate his victories at St Andrews and his inspirational play during numerous Open Championships.”

The prints, which are unframed and measure 27cm x37cm, are priced £150. They are available from St Andrews Links Golf Shops, a wholly owned subsidiary of St Andrews Links Trust, at www.standrews.org.uk.
