A snapshot of golf history, captured in paint
Jack Nicklaus’ legendary 1-iron shot at the 1972 U.S. Open is forever frozen in time with Jack at 17: Pebble Beach 6/18/72. Painted in the format of a vintage Polaroid, this work reimagines the moment the Golden Bear battled ocean winds and nearly aced Pebble Beach’s par-3 17th. The iconic birdie helped secure his third U.S. Open title, and the memory lives on in this nostalgic tribute.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Jack at 17: Pebble Beach 6/18/72
In 1972, Jack Nicklaus hit one of the greatest shots in golf history at the U.S. Open. Standing on the 17th tee at Pebble Beach, with the Pacific wind whipping across the coast, he pulled a 1-iron and struck a shot so pure it hit the flagstick. He tapped in for birdie, sealing a three-stroke lead on his way to winning his third U.S. Open title.
I bring this moment to life in Jack at 17: Pebble Beach 6/18/72, painting it inside the iconic frame of a Polaroid photograph to preserve the nostalgia of a sports memory captured in real time. Released on the 50th anniversary of the shot, the painting reflects the atmosphere of the California coastline and the focus of one of the game’s greatest athletes.
The artist even walked the grounds of Pebble Beach just weeks before the painting’s release, gaining a firsthand understanding of the terrain, layout, and difficulty of the hole. That experience translated directly onto the canvas in texture, perspective, and storytelling.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
