This is Valentino Dixon's second appearance on Off Script - this time it was in person! We spoke to him shortly after his 2019 release from prison where he spent 27 years for a crime he did not commit. During his time in prison art was his sanctuary, he began drawing beautiful pencil creations including the picturesque golf courses in Dubai, which is why our paths crossed in the first place. It was a pleasure to finally meet Valentino in person, he was able to overcome a wrongful conviction with grace, class and determination, while producing beautiful artwork.His book The Soul Of An Unfreed Man: Drawing my way to Freedom. 27 Years of False Imprisonment at the notorious Attica Prison, was released earlier this year.

It was a windy weekend in paradise, but low scores were still to be had at the Bermuda Championship. Hosts Alex Lauzon and Michael Russell look back on Patrick Reed's Sunday charge, and the newest winner on the PGA Tour (1:39). The biggest news of the week is a new but mysterious Saudi golf venture with Greg Norman. Alex and Michael ask the question: who's playing in it (3:33)? The First Tee word of the week is perseverance, which encompasses Alex's golf journey to his best round of his life (6:05). The PGA Tour stays in paradise as they head to Cancun for the Mayakoba Classic. The field, unlike last week, is loaded (7:31). In Tuned In, Michael got his last minute Halloween films in, and Alex is a little confused with the latest word from Mariah Carey (9:40). This week's guest is Linda Hartough, a golf landscape artist whose work you've most certainly seen. Alex chats with Linda about his career painting the likes of Augusta National and St Andrews, plus her role in the Academy of Golf Art (12:43). Alex's football fortunes aren't turning around after a "blehh" week in the college world, but things might be looking up in the NFL for at least one of the guys (50:48). As the guys #AlwaysEndWithFood, it's about what was happening for Halloween, including Michael's first time making Rice Krispie Treats (44:18).

Linda Hartough is a fine artist who followed her beliefs to establish a new genre of golf art.Since 1984, she has captured some of the world's most beautiful golf courses through stunningly realistic paintings including Augusta National, Carnoustie, Pebble Beach and St. Andrews.But her story also includes a deep dive into her business acumen and how that prevented her from being a "starving artist."Hartough on Excellence:"I think of Excellence as an individual's pursuit of developing their talent. I think everyone has a talent, but some people never realize it, Usually, if a person has passion and they know that's their purpose, then they are going to develop that to Excellence. It's just a natural progression."Visit xlete.com for more Excellence.Hartough is credited as a trailblazer within the golf fine art industry and information about her work is available at Hartough.com. Along the way, Hartough was a founding trustee of The Academy of Golf Art, which brings Excellence to the genre of golf art by attracting world-class artists, who offer their vision of the game to the fine art medium.
When he was just 21 years old, Valentino Dixon was sentenced to 39 years to life for a murder he didn't commit. When he first got to prison, he believed it'd just be a matter of time before he was exonerated, but as time wore on, he started to lose hope. Then, everything changed when his uncle sent him a set of colored pencils. He urged Valentino to start drawing – he said that if he reclaimed his life, he could reclaim his freedom. That he could draw himself out of prison.And he did.

During Mike's Course - Mike and Billy discuss Billy's trip to Virginia CC and Billy's new workout regiment while on the golf course. Since focusing her skills as a landscape painter to recreate some of the world's most beautiful golf holes, Linda Hartough has become recognized as one of golf's leading artists. So extraordinary and realistic is her attention to detail that her oil paintings seem to come alive with a clarity that surpasses the camera. Her work has gained international fame. She is the only artist ever commissioned by the United States Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews to do the annual, official paintings and prints for the U.S. Open and British Open Championships. She has painted prestigious golf courses from the U.S. to Scotland to Hong Kong. Her paintings are so admired that they have earned a place on two ABC Television Golf Specials on famous golf holes hosted by Jack Nicklaus. Her paintings are in the collections of such famous clubs as Augusta National, Pine Valley and Laurel Valley. Hartough originals are also included in the private collections of Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones and Rees Jones. Linda Hartough calls into the show - a confirmed artist since the age of six, Linda was raised in the picturesque country sides of Wilmington, Delaware and Louisville, Kentucky. Much of her early career was spent in Chicago where, after receiving her Fine Arts degree from the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1970, she made a living by selling her paintings locally. In 1980, Linda moved to South Carolina near Hilton Head where, she painted landscapes, portraits and horses. In 1984, Augusta National Golf Club commissioned her to paint the famed 13th hole, thus beginning her golf landscape career. After an enormous response to her work at the 1988 PGA Show in Orlando, Linda focused her career entirely on golf landscapes. Since that time, Linda's work has enjoyed unparalleled status in the golf world, while receiving international acclaim including Golf Digest's "Lifetime Achievement Award." Linda is privileged to be a Founding Trustee of the Academy of Golf Art, a professional society of golf artists established in 2004 to create an awareness and appreciation of golf art as a valuable segment of fine art. Linda's approach to capturing a great golf hole is by spending a week or more at each course, taking photographs at different times of the day to capture all possible lights. She then figures out what is important or memorable in each view of a hole and makes sure this is included in the painting. Her memory serves as a less objective image of the hole. The combination of the two provides the unique view found in each of her paintings. "I really enjoy painting golf landscape. It is some of the most beautiful and varied landscape in the world combined with a deep, historical sense of tradition that transcends time. The painting is a success when both elements emerge."Visit www.tourstrikershop.com and use the promo code "GTR" for FREE shipping on the Tour Striker!
