This is executed with the vitality of a plein air composition, that is with the scene directly in front of him, on the spot as Robert Pilot applied paint to the panel. The composition is of golfers on the rolling turf of the Algonquin Golf Course at Saint Andrews, New Brunswick, a log boom in Passamaquoddy Bay, an inlet of the Bay of Fundy, and a view beyond to Navy Island with the Maine shore in the distance. Beyond the course, the painting is predominantly in a palette of cool mauves and greys, and an atmosphere that is consistent with the light also in many of Pilot’s Quebec City paintings. 

Robert Pilot was born in Newfoundland, but moved to Montreal in his youth, where his widowed mother married Maurice Cullen, he too, born in Newfoundland. Robert Pilot returned to the Maritimes on numerous occasions where he painted a significant body of outstanding work. He and Arthur Lismer, of their generation, must be credited with creating an identity for the Maritimes in Canadian art.
