Stonehouse Publishing Offering Prints In Conjunction with Nicklaus, U.S. Open

Stonehouse Publishing has teamed up with Jack Nicklaus and the U.S. Open to offer commemorative prints celebrating Nicklaus' final British Open appearance and the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst.

Stonehouse reached licensing agreements with Nicklaus Companies and the United States Golf Association for their art prints, which feature photography by Patrick Drickey.

Nicklaus is making what is expected to be his final appearance in The Open Championship this July at The Old Course at St. Andrews. Drickey's photo of The Old Course's "Road Hole" is taken from the perspective of a golfer standing on the 17th green.

The print includes a listing of Nicklaus' British Open victories, The Old Course's name, and the words "Jack's Farewell to The Open." In addition, Nicklaus' signature is reproduced along the bottom of the photo.

Nicklaus' real signature will appear on a 30-inch by 53-inch framed Limited Edition version of the print. With only 25 of these Limited Editions available, they will sell for $2,500 each. Smaller versions range from $45 and up.

Stonehouse's agreement with the USGA allows the use of the 2005 U.S. Open logo on the company's prints commemorating that event.

The prints feature a Drickey photograph of the par-5, 565-yard No. 4 hole, or the 187-yard, par-3 No. 17 hole, at Pinehurst No. 2. The prints also feature the U.S. Open logo centered at the top, and the text "105th U.S. Open Championship" centered below the course and hole information.

The U.S. Open prints range in price from $45 up to a Limited Edition price at more than $1,000.
