LEC Sables d'Or les Pins (Rare vintage poster)

Caption Brief: For many golfers out there, their sport of choice transcends mere sport to become something of a religious experience, each manicured green a shrine, every well-laid out course a cathedral. Hence, Lec’s advertisement for Sables d'Or les Pins’ nine holes of “Super-Golf” strikes a thematic chord with its geometric stained-glass window-style approach, a seaside fairway shot for the true acolytes of the game.
