"18th Hole at the Old Course" Swilcan Bridge Limited Edition Print
Officially Licensed St Andrews Links Golf Art
"This is the origin of the game, golf in its purest form, and it's still played that way on a course seemingly untouched by time. Every time I play here, it reminds me that this is still a game."
- Arnold Palmer
About This Piece
Walking up 18 at the Old Course is one of the great moments in golf. The Swilcan Bridge in the foreground, the R&A clubhouse and Hamilton Grand rising behind, the town of St Andrews wrapping around the home green. It's the walk every golfer pictures.
This painting captures that moment from the fairway looking toward the green, the perspective you'd have approaching the bridge yourself, with the buildings of the town just beyond.
A note on the Swilcan Bridge: the small stone arch at the heart of this scene predates the modern game. It was originally built more than 700 years ago to help shepherds move sheep across the burn. Today it's photographed more than almost any landmark in golf, every Open Championship winner crosses it, and so does every golfer lucky enough to play the Old Course.
Created by officially licensed artist Aimee Smith from her original 48" × 36" oil painting. Each print is hand-signed by the artist in her studio near Nashville, Tennessee, and features the official St Andrews Links crest in the white border.
The 18" × 24", 30" × 40", and 36" x 48" sizes are limited to editions of 50.
