EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "Rule XXXIII: A player shall not ask for advice from anyone but his. . . caddie" takes us back to the early 1900s, when golf was a gentleman's game filled with strict rules and traditions. The artwork, created by Charles Crombie, showcases a golfer in a rustic costume on a picturesque course. In this humorous cartoon-like scene, the golfer is seen pondering his next shot while holding his doublet-clad caddie's arm. The passerby in the background seems eager to offer an opinion, but according to Rule XXXIII of the Rules of Golf published around 1905, seeking advice from anyone other than one's caddie is strictly forbidden. The artist cleverly captures the essence of this rule through playful imagery and vibrant colors. This print not only serves as a reminder of golf's historical roots but also highlights the importance placed on fair play and self-reliance during that era. Interestingly, tucked away in the corner of this artwork is an advertisement for Perrier water—a subtle trademark that adds another layer of intrigue to this piece. It reminds us that even in art from over a century ago, commercial influences found their way into everyday life. Overall, this delightful print offers both nostalgia and amusement as it transports us back to a time when golfers adhered strictly to tradition and sought guidance solely from their trusted caddies.
