He was the club’s third professional and, besides President Eisenhower, was the only individual to ever receive an honorary membership to one of the world’s greatest golf clubs. There were a few opportunities to see him in the years after that first encounter. And eventually came the chance to play Cypress itself! It was equally rewarding to see my work hanging in the guest locker room. Today, the Cypress Point print has been moved to a more prominent area of the stately clubhouse where it is enjoyed as a part of the decor and history. Jim Langley touched a lot of hearts.
