Cassy Tully Creates Painting Depicting Fallen Oak Golf Course, Host of 2023 VGA National Championship

The Veteran Golfers Association is hosting their National Championship on September 17-21, 2023, at Fallen Oak Golf Course, exclusive to Beau Rivage Resort and Casino. The VGA has commissioned Cassy Tully, sports and lifestyle artist, to create an 18 X 36” painting depicting the stately clubhouse, its expansive windows framing a spectacular view of the majestic tree that inspired the club’s name. 

Cassy’s remarkable painting highlights the course’s soft mist, with fog rising elegantly from the water near the 18th hole. The radiant lights of the clubhouse draw the eye, and the setting is balanced by the textural splendor of the massive oak. Overlooking the scene is a lustrous sky, washed with soft pinks and delicate opal clouds. 

“I am pleased to continue supporting the VGA and their dedication to enriching the lives of Veterans and their family members through golf,” Cassy said. “As I painted, I let my brush be inspired by the commitment our Veterans have made to serve our country, creating the colors of the sky especially as a source of hope and solace.”

Fallen Oak, a beautiful Tom Fazio-designed course, is operated by Beau Rivage Casino Resort in Biloxi, Mississippi. Fazio thoughtfully balanced the land’s original contours with natural elements to create a sense of artistry and adrenalin across the 18-hole, par-72 championship layout. 

Cassy’s painting captures Fazio’s respect for nature in an ideal blend of light and harmony. This painting will also be reproduced as 12 X 24” Limited Edition Commemorative Prints, signed and numbered. Cassy will attend the Champions Dinner on September 20th, a wonderful opportunity for members and guests to meet her, have prints personalized, and learn more about her championship golf artwork.

“The impact of these events on Veterans and their loved ones is tremendous,” Cassy said. “Being part of the patriotism and ongoing support of the VGA in bringing together Veterans and the wider golf community is inspiring.”

Olympia Fields Golf Course, Host of 2023 BMW Championship, to Feature Cassy Tully Original Artwork

The 2023 BMW Championship will take place at Olympia Fields Country Club, Olympia Fields, IL, on August 15 - 20, 2023. Cassy, whose sports and lifestyle paintings are collected internationally, created an original masterpiece for the championship.

The nationally ranked North Course is one of Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Greatest Courses,” with Olympia Fields hosting the 2002 U.S. Open, the 2017 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, and the 2020 BMW Championship.

Cassy’s 24 X 30” painting depicts the triumphant moment of the world’s top-ranked golfer Jon Rahm sinking a 66-foot putt to win the 2020 BMW Championship, with the scene anchored by the club’s majestic clock tower.

“One of the greatest joys of being a golf artist is depicting the moments when preparation, skill, and ingenuity meet to create remarkable golf moments,” Cassy said. “Showing the top ranked Jon Rahm at the point of victory creates a feeling on canvas that’s palpable.”

A limited edition series of prints, posters and ornaments will be created from Cassy’s painting, available in the merchandise tent during the championship. She will also be available during an exclusive Members Preview Party on August 12th to sign and personalize prints and ornaments. This is a wonderful opportunity for Olympia Fields Members to meet Cassy and learn more about her golf-inspired artwork.

The North Course at Olympia Fields was designed in 1923 by Willie Park, Jr., two-time Open Champion and grandfather of inland golf design. Cassy’s painting depicts the beauty and grace of Park’s design through her signature relief-painting technique.

The caddy’s bib displays the iconic WGA and Evans Scholars logo. The painting will be reproduced as prints, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Evans Scholars Foundation.

“My painting highlights the true partnership between a golfer and caddy,” Cassy said. “It is my mission to use my talent to give back, and there is no better opportunity in golf than supporting the WGA and Evans Scholars Foundation.”
