'vivid colour' is the definition.
'pea green' can be an answer for 'colour' (pea green is a kind of colour). I am not sure about the 'vivid' bit.

'spheroid object seen on golf course' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'object' could be 'green' (green is a kind of object) and 'green' is present in the answer.
'course' could be 'e' and 'e' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.
