Steve Moore's popular daily comic strip is now featured in more than 165 newspapers across America. In this wickedly clever sequel to his two previous sports cartoon books, Moore lampoons golf from the viewpoints of spectators in the gallery, TV fans, and golfers themselves. "Hilarious."--Robert Klein, comic.
This collection of cartoons centers on the absurdities and social faux pas inherent in the sport of golf. The protagonist of each panel is typically an amateur golfer or a frustrated observer attempting to navigate the rigid etiquette and physical challenges of the game. These characters face opposition from their own lack of skill, the unpredictable nature of the course, and the judgmental eyes of their peers. The narrative framework consists of a series of independent, single-panel gag cartoons that utilize visual irony and punchline-driven dialogue to highlight the humor in common golfing scenarios.
Readers frequently highlight the accessibility of the humor, noting that one does not need to be a professional golfer to appreciate the jokes. Discussion often centers on the author's ability to capture the specific frustrations and social hierarchies found within the sport. Critics observe that the pacing is brisk, allowing for quick consumption of the individual panels. The atmosphere is consistently lighthearted, focusing on the absurdity of the game rather than technical accuracy. Many readers appreciate how the collection effectively lampoons the pretension often associated with golf culture.
