(WESTHAMPTON BEACH, New York) – The Academy of Golf Art (www.academyofgolfart.org) announced that several member artists will be in attendance at the official opening reception March 8, 2018, for The Academy of Golf Art: Artists of the Game, an exhibition to take place Feb. 24–May 13 at the Morris Museum of Art, in Augusta, Ga. Dr. Robert Jones IV, grandson of legendary golfer Bobby Jones, will be the reception’s featured speaker, at 6:00 p.m. Jones is a clinical psychologist in private practice in suburban Atlanta.

“Artists at the opening reception will be available to talk with those in attendance at the opening reception before Dr. Jones begins his presentation,” said George Lawrence, president of the Academy of Golf Art, “in a casual meet-and-greet format.”
