(August 12, 2018, 12:13 pm)This Village of Islington mural, titled "Golfing in Islington" and painted in 2014 by John Kuna at 4866 Dundas Street West, depicts golf in the 1920s. Here's what the plaque says:
This 7.3 by 7.0 metre mural depicts golf in the 1920s. The Islington Golf Club designed by Stanley Thompson, one of the foremost golf course architects in North America at the time, is located just minutes from this site. Look eastward to the club house as it appeared in the late 1920s. In the foreground golfers dressed in the late 1920s fashion enjoy their day on the green. The lead golfer is attempting to hit the ball away from the tree line at the western edge of the course where it landed after an overzealous tee off. The impatience of the group is shared by the small boy who has found distraction in a stray frog and the ball collector, wearing upper body protective gear, who is waiting for the group to play through so that he may resume his duties.
