Fingerprint: CADDIE — two glamorous female golfers flanking red-cream shield crest, blonde on right pointing finger skyward, white golf ball at shield crest top, two crossed clubs over it, blue OFF 5 TARGET banner, multicoloured cartoon title with letters alternating yellow-red-orange-cream, white score panel upper right (2 1 0 9), left golfer at full backswing
The two glamorous female golfers flanking a red-and-cream shield crest, with the blonde on the right holding her arm up and pointing a single finger skyward. A white golf ball sits at the very top of the shield crest, with two crossed clubs over it and a blue OFF 5 TARGET banner across the top. The multicoloured cartoon block title CADDIE, where the letters alternate yellow, red, orange and cream and a golf ball substitutes for one of the letter details. A painted white score panel at upper right reading 2 1 0 9, unusual for a backglass. The left golfer caught at full backswing in a striped white top and red tartan trousers.
