3rd & 19th, Tedesco CC

Marblehead, MA

The former notable quarters of the Tedesco Country Club, now demolished, offers this unique view of its elevated 3rd hole, looking back to the course-ending Clubhouse entry, its 19th hole respite. It was painted plein air for the Rotary Club of Marblehead Auction, and is now a unique surviving record of a golf club’s glory days. The pale green of the building, together with the sky and trees, made for mostly a cool palette, including the violet foreground shadow.
