The single most memorable element is the enormous arched CLUB HOUSE title in red block capitals, white-faced and black-shadowed, spanning almost the entire width of the orange sunset sky. Immediately below it a triple-scene composition stacks a golf course with a white clubhouse and tiny golfers above a swimming pool where three women in red and pink swimsuits are shown simultaneously: one standing on a diving board, one mid-dive, and one surfacing with a raised arm holding a large red ball. The scoring hardware is unusually prominent, with a full-height MILLIONS column of coloured numbered ovals down the left edge and a THOUSANDS column of 100-900 down the right, framing a red CARD window in the centre. A small yellow cursive maker's signature sits alone in the top-left sky.

A wide landscape backglass painted in a flat, bright, illustrative style with heavy black outlines. An orange-brown sunset sky fills the top third, with rounded green trees silhouetted at the left and right edges. Huge arched block capitals in red with white faces and black shadows read CLUB HOUSE, curving upward like a rainbow, and a small yellow cursive signature sits in the top-left corner. Below, a golf course: a long white clubhouse with a red roof sits centre-back, with tiny dark-clad golfers on the green fairway. A swimming pool fills the lower right, pale blue with a white ladder. Three women in swimsuits appear: a tall blonde in a strapless red one-piece stands on a tan diving board at left with a white towel, a brunette in a pink-and-white swimsuit dives head-first into the pool at centre, and a blonde woman surfaces at right with one arm raised holding a large red ball. The lower third is scoring apparatus: a vertical MILLIONS column of coloured ovals down the left edge, a THOUSANDS column of 100-900 down the right, a red CARD plaque with two digit windows above the word SCORE in the centre, a black DEALER'S SCORE strip with two yellow windows, and a row of ten rounded red, yellow, green and orange windows across the bottom.
