Congressional Country Club, Bethesda, Maryland —
Home of the AT&T National PGA Golf Tournament

Bill’s invitation to Congressional Country Club came about while exhibiting at the PGA show in Orlando. Head Professional John Lyberger was in attendance when he struck up a conversation with Bill and they began to discuss the possibilities of creating a new painting centerpiece of Congressional’s famed Blue Golf Course. Recently redesigned by Rees Jones, the new 18th hole set the stage for Bill’s masterful art touch.

Congressional Country Club is located in Bethesda Maryland and opened in 1924. The Blue Course was designed by Devereux Emmet and has been renovated over the years by numerous architects, most recently by Rees Jones. In 2007, Tiger Woods began hosting the AT&T National PGA Golf Tournament at Congressional.

Two field trips by William Mangum in 2007 to Congressional produced a variety of field studies that gave the golf staff perspective and assurance that this was going to be an exceptional art creation.

The Blue Course is considered among the top 100 best golf courses in the United States. It has hosted a variety of outstanding golf tournaments. The first golf major championship to be held at Congressional was the 1964 United States Open. In 1976, the PGA Championship was held at Congressional. The second U.S. Open held at Congressional was played in 1997. The Blue Course will once again host the 2011 U.S. Open.

This beautiful painting of No. 18 is currently hanging in the Congressional Country Club Clubhouse and fine art limited edition prints have been created for members and golf enthusiast.
