This afternoon, Marcia Eames-Sheavly’s Art of Horticulture class (with a big assist from turf specialist Frank Rossi) created a second sod sculpture at Cornell’s Bluegrass Lane Landscape Research Facility, adjacent to the Cornell campus and the Robert Trent Jones Golf Course.
Now golfers heading down the 8th fairway are greeted by this surrealistic work just off the course grounds. (In fact, one rode over in his golf cart during the construction to find out what the heck was going on.)
This piece joins last year’s spiral mound in the growing sculpture garden.
Golf courses could certainly use this type of interest!
I should hasten to make clear that these sculptures aren’t on the golf course proper, though visible from the fairway. Putting sculptures like this on the course would make for some interesting play, however. Probably some cursing, too.
Lots of cursing AND club tossing.
