When art meets golf with the works of Hubert Privé

Inspired by his passion for golf, Hubert Privé, plastic sculptor, diverts the material to reinvent it and becomes a creator of objects (from the smallest to the most monumental) that he exhibits all over the world. He also makes furniture, lamps and installations. He creates a large number of specific Trophies and Works for events such as Les Trophées du golf, the French Open at the Golf National, etc. He will exhibit several of his works for the second consecutive year. Last year, the artist had specially created a 2,10m Tee in the colors of Brittany, which you can admire next to the Club House and the start of 10.
