Bethpage Black 4th

Bethpage Black on Long Island is one of the toughest public golf courses in America, famously greeting players with a sign that warns: 'The Black Course Is An Extremely Difficult Course Which We Recommend Only For Highly Skilled Golfers.' Our watercolor depicts the challenging 4th hole at dawn, when the first light of morning breaks over the rolling Long Island terrain and the dew still glistens on the rough. The painting captures the raw, unforgiving beauty that made Bethpage Black the first truly public course to host the U.S. Open — the deep bunkers, the thick rough, and the expansive views that reward those bold enough to take it on.
