The inspiration behind the painting

Royal Portrush is a golfing venue like no other.

Established in May 1888, originally known as The County Club, and was only a nine-hole course, extended to 18 holes the following year.

In 1895 it was finally named The Royal Portrush Golf Club, with H.R.H. The Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) as a patron.

The club has a rich, powerful and fascinating history that embraces all aspects of the amateur game. It is centrally involved in the development of ladies golf in Britain and Ireland and hosts the annual North of Ireland Men’s Championship hosted by the Golfing Union of Ireland.

There have been many famous golfers who have played at the Royal Portrush Club at one stage or another: Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Ernie Els, Darren Clarke and Larry Mize to name a few. With Phil Mickelson and Mark Calcavecchia playing in 2002 and Davis Love III and Jim Furyk enjoying a game in 2003. Other major winners who have visited Royal Portrush include Tom Watson, Jack Nicklaus, Steve Jones, Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw.

Graeme McDowell, Portrush born, won the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010, and a year later Darren Clarke presented his Royal St Georges Open Championship medal to Royal Portrush, the club he adopted as his home club.

McIlroy first met Clarke on the Dunluce Links on the day he celebrated his 10th birthday.

Years later he declared: ‘There is something about this place which is very special.  It holds great memories for me.

McDowell, Clarke, McIlroy and Harrington are honorary members of Royal Portrush.
