Golfer George Statue Debuts at Southport

Southport’s iconic Masters Putting Course just unveiled its new steel mascot, “Golfer George,” a 61-year tribute to founder George Law, standing proudly over the Promenade and Marine Lake. Weighing over 100kg and crafted with nearly 4,000 welds, this galvanized giant is a permanent fixture in Kings Gardens — perfectly timed for The Open Championship’s July arrival. Families who’ve played here for decades are now bringing kids and grandkids, proving George’s legacy lives on. Alongside the sculpture, the course has upgraded its obstacles and is ready to welcome crowds with affordable, fun play: $5 per person for 18 holes, plus a free round if you sink the 19th.
