JOHN ROBERT by Tom Clark

"The real John Robert is the son of Hugh Robert Gaither, for whom I named my first "golfing Gnome," Hugh Robert, in 1979. Now John Robert joins the Gnome clan, and like his dad, is puzzled by this strange object. Should he keep this new treasure, or is it likely that someone will come looking for it? I sculpted him in the same pose as his father, and used the original coin - a 1967 Norwegian "5 ore" piece that depicts an elk. Like father, like son, he holds a golf tee behind his back. What odd little things find their way into his neck of the woods! I departed from tradition in giving John Robert a rope belt and also a leather satchel, resting next to his boots. It seems like the younger generation always has more baggage! If you look closely, you will see a small face near the bottom of John Robert's beard. This was added as a special message for all who love to golf. Keep your head down and your eye on the ball!"
