payment button below that: The Ryder Cup, spanning competitions over
seven decades and held every two years, is one of the last great
sporting events exemplifying prestige rather than prize money.
Initially between the US and the UK, European representation also
includes players from Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Germany,
Denmark and Sweden.
In this breathtaking panoramic view LeRoy Neiman captures and
captivates us with the verdant splendor of Louisville’s
championship golf course Valhalla, with it’s rolling hills, still
blue waters and lush fairways. In the distance stands the steeple
topped clubhouse overlooking the natural amphitheaters and the wide
disbursement of the gallery with eight different balls in play.
Spectators observe in hushed silence as they watch the intense
concentration of players from two continents compete. Displaying
their national pride are America’s Stars & Stripes, while the
navy bunting with a circle of stars represents the European Union
Flag. If one looks closely Neiman can be seen situated near a tree
in the foreground, sketching the excitement of the moment.
Valhalla was named for the great hall described in Norse mythology
where the souls of Vikings feasted and celebrated with the gods. The
artist, who has sketched many players at Valhalla including Tiger
Woods, says the famed course “has the feeling it was conceived for
the majors.” As always Neiman’s brilliant brush work translates
the intense mental and physical stakes, where golfers and spectators
know a mere putt or drive could mean the difference between winning
and losing.
