There is a ranking, and this is it. TEE TIMES across the top in heavy grotesk capitals. An oversized gold greater-than sign in the middle, doing all the arguing. DEADLINES underneath, struck through with one confident chalk line — the kind you draw when the decision was made a long time ago. No golfer, no clubhouse, no crest. Just the working week put firmly in its place, three lines deep.
It is a statement piece rather than a scene, and it is built that way: a deep racing-green ground, chalk-white type, and a single gold mark carrying the whole joke. Flat saturated green is what lets it hold a wall from across the room, which makes this a den, games-room or home-office piece more than a hallway one. The canvas is a poly-cotton blend, hand-stretched over solid wood stretcher bars to a 1.25″ gallery-wrap depth and printed with fade-resistant inks, with mounting brackets fitted before it ships. As a retirement present it does the thing a card cannot: it lands on the day, and it still gets hung the week after.

Quick answers
What does the artwork say?
TEE TIMES > DEADLINES — set in three stacked lines, with DEADLINES struck through by a single hand-drawn chalk line.
What are the colours?
A deep racing-green ground with chalk-white lettering and one gold greater-than symbol. Nothing else — no gradients, no second accent.
Is it a good retirement gift?
That is exactly what it was drawn for. It also works for a last day at work, a milestone birthday, or anyone who has openly rearranged their week around a tee sheet.
Does it need a frame?
No. It is a 1.25″ deep gallery wrap, hand-stretched over solid wood stretcher bars with mounting brackets included, so it hangs as it arrives.
Tee times first. Everything else can wait.
