Title: "The Angry Golfer: A Holy Meltdown" This delightful comic postcard from the 20th century, published by the renowned British firm, Donald McGill, captures the humorous side of golfing mishaps and social awkwardness. The image depicts a furious golfer, his face contorted in rage, as he stands on a pristine golf course, surrounded by his shattered clubs. The scene is further complicated by the presence of a stern-looking vicar, who stands nearby, looking disapprovingly at the scene. The golfer, with steam coming from his ears, clenches his fists, trying his best to contain his anger and refrain from uttering any profanities. The expression on his face is a classic representation of frustration and disappointment, a common feeling shared by golfers around the world. The humorous touch to this scene is added by the quotation from Shakespeare's "Richard II" inscribed at the bottom of the postcard, which reads, "A man in his full gree, with a club in his hand, Cursing God and his golf, swearing not to stand." This quote adds a layer of wit and irony to the situation, as the golfer's predicament is a classic example of the age-old struggle between man and nature, and the frustration that comes with it. This charming postcard is a fun and lighthearted reminder of the ups and downs of golfing, and the importance of maintaining one's composure, even in the face of adversity. It is a must-have for any golf enthusiast or collector of vintage British humor.
