We tend to see and categorize Plain people as serious and only in their work settings; not thinking of the leisure and lighthearted part of their lives.
In this painting, the Plain modest dress, which easily identifies them as separate from the worldly kingdom, is contrasted with the over-the-top clothing and dress of the professional golf world. In highlighting this the painting whimsically imagines what a weekly golf outing might look like for a trio of friends trying to have a foot in each world. In a small Pennsylvania town that is not much more than a crossroads and having a name that brings out the snickering fourth grader in each of us, you never know what you might find at the local country club.
