“Timeless”

Here, the depiction of a warm early evening in May, the week before the Idylwylde Golf Course opens for the season. The sun almost ethereally backlights the trees, just below the horizon, sending spotlights onto the fairway, sand trap, and the green's apron.

 

Golf is a timeless game, so the pin on the Idylwylde's 13th Hole, and this green resembling a clockface will proudly stand as a landmark-even after the smokestack disappears. Its sculpted imprint will forever leave its mark on memory and landscape.

You'll know the time of day by the sun dial created by the flag, and by facing north. This shadow tells us it's just after 8:00pm. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day.
