EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a comical scene from the early 1900s, showcasing the strict rules and etiquette of golf. Titled "Rule VIII: Unless with the opponents consent a ball in play shall not be moved" this artwork by Charles Crombie brings to life the humorous side of this beloved sport. In the picture, we see two golfers on a beautifully manicured lawn, engaged in an intense dispute over a misplaced ball. Dressed in rustic costumes and puffing on pipes, these players epitomize the puritan spirit of early golfing days. The golfer who caused the mishap stands sheepishly as his opponent sternly objects to moving the ball without consent. The cartoon-like illustration highlights both their incompetence and their dedication to upholding every rule of golf. A caddy looks on anxiously, perhaps fearing that this conflict may escalate further. Meanwhile, nearby spectators observe with amusement as they witness this clash of interests unfold. Notably, tucked away in one corner is an advertisement for Perrier water - a clever trademark inclusion that adds another layer of charm to this piece. Overall, this image serves as a reminder that even amidst serious games like golf, there's always room for lightheartedness and laughter. It showcases how sports can bring people together while also providing moments of entertainment and joy.
