Most Iconic Golf Picture

[Lord Tyrion]

Rather than tweak the current thread I thought I would start a new one. When thinking about iconic shots I struggled as I kept thinking of iconic pictures or poses.

So, for me Jack Nicklaus crouched down with his putter aloft as his putt sank to win his last major (why yellow Jack? Just why?).

Closely followed by Van de Velde stood in the burn at Carnoustie with his trousers rolled up, hands on hips.

Payne Stewart, 91 US open for me.

Tiger doing his huge fist pump when wearing that red round-neck shirt.

Let's face it, the answer is always Tiger.

I think that Jack wore a yellow shirt on the Sunday in memory of Craig Smith, a young Ohioan boy he had befriended many years before who was suffering from terminal cancer. Yellow was Craig's favourite colour.

That is an iconic photo, as was the BBC commentary of Peter Alliss who, when the ball was perhaps four feet from the hole, whispered 'It's there'.

Do paintings count? This is the one for me; Old Tom by Sir George Reid. Lovely piece of work.

Only for people of a certain age

 

[IanM]

Folk over a certain age will relate to this.... there was a time, when a Ryder Cup win, was as shocking as Aldershot Town winning the Champions League!!

For me the most iconic golf pic is not of a player pose or shot, its not even a single picture... its just this;

Jack making that putt at the 86 Masters.
