Hill Original Painting
CARY, N.C. (April 1, 2011) – Arysta
LifeScience awarded an original painting of hole 17 on Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club and
Lodge to Kurt Sams, of Idlewild
Country Club in Flossmoor, Ill. Sams was selected from those who
participated in the Arysta LifeScience booth drawing at the Golf Industry Show (GIS). He was
presented with the painting earlier this month.
“This high value, one-of-a-kind prize and the duplicate prints that were
distributed created quite a buzz at GIS,” said Michael Maravich, Turf &
Ornamentals Marketing and Product Manager. “The exceptional value of the
painting represents our product line of DISARM®
fungicides and ALOFT® Insecticide – premium results at an
affordable price.”
Arysta LifeScience plans to continue the promotion and will commission
an artist to create original artwork of a well-known course in each city in
which GIS is held. This year’s painting, completed by legendary artist Bart Forbes, celebrates the 50th
anniversary of Bay Hill. Forbes has completed theme paintings for a variety of
PGA and Seniors’ tournaments. His work has appeared in countless magazines,
including Sports Illustrated and TIME.
