Arysta LifeScience North America, LLC awarded an original painting of the fifth hole at Red Rock Country Club Mountain Course in Las Vegas, Nev. to Steven Merkel of Landscapes Golf Group, LLC in Lincoln, Neb. Merkel was selected from those who participated in the Arysta LifeScience booth drawing at the Golf Industry Show (GIS) in Las Vegas.
He was presented with the painting earlier this month.
“Based on participation and interest, this is the second year in a row to offer golf course superintendents the opportunity to win an original painting,” says Michael Maravich Turf & Ornamentals marketing and product manager. “We handed duplicate prints to all attendees at the show but the one-of-a-kind, framed piece was certainly the grand prize.”
Arysta LifeScience commissioned Lawrence J. Churski to complete the painting. Churski is an award-winning contemporary impressionist who practices en plein air, which is a term used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
