The main scene depicts a cartoon-style golf course illustration featuring three men. In the foreground, one man in a patterned orange sweater kneels on the green, squinting as he prepares to putt a golf ball. Standing behind him to the left, a second man in an orange sweater and flat cap stands with his hands on his hips, watching the player with a stern, skeptical expression. To the right, a third man stands holding a thin flagpole topped with a red flag marked with the number eight, looking toward the kneeling player.
The setting is a lush, vibrant green golf course under a bright sky. Beyond the putting green, rolling hills and a cluster of rounded, stylized trees create a soft backdrop. Sand bunkers are visible in the mid-ground, adding depth to the scene. The composition is balanced, with the vertical lines of the flag and the standing figure contrasting with the horizontal posture of the crouching golfer.
The artwork is rendered in a classic mid-century magazine illustration style, characterized by bold ink outlines and expressive, economical shading. The color palette relies on natural greens, warm oranges, and stark white highlights, evoking the look of a vintage printed periodical. The overall mood is humorous and captures a moment of quiet tension on the course, signed in the lower right corner by the artist, Peter Arno.
