Your focus is drawn to the golfer in the foreground to the right who is thinking about how he will play his shotgun on the lush green. To the left is another golfer wearing a yellow top who is holding the flag pole in his left hand, whilst holding his golf ball in his right hand whilst watching on. In the background, a golfer in his green tops is crouched down lining up his shot. To the right of him a golfer is clutching his club bag, with his other hand raised towards his face. In the distance you can see the wonderful landscape views of the hills and trees with some blue sky showing with mainly clouds overhead.

Signed in the bottom corner by the English artist Ken Mountain.

About the artist.
Ken Mountain was born in Hoylake and is a self-taught artist. During his working years, his time for painting was limited. However, in 1995, he took early retirement, attended Nigel Morris's art class at the Community Centre in Hoylake and began to work in oils. His paintings vary but are usually figurative or landscape works.
They include paintings of Chilibre Island, the Royal Liverpool Golf Links, the Lady of Chilibre lifeboat at sea and the Dee Estuary.
