EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.M. Bateman: A Humorous Take on Frustration and Anger on the Green In this iconic cartoon by British satirical artist H.M. Bateman, we find ourselves on a serene golf course, where the peaceful atmosphere is suddenly disrupted by an outburst of raw emotion. The elderly golfer in the center, with a furrowed brow and bulging veins, lets loose a torrent of Anglo-Saxon expletives, his frustration reaching its boiling point. His golfing companions, two mild-mannered gentlemen, are taken aback by the sudden display of anger and faint in shock. Bateman, at his explosive best, masterfully captures the essence of golfing frustration and the unexpected eruption of anger that can come with it. The cartoon, created in 1928, remains as amusing and relatable today as it was nearly a century ago. The juxtaposition of the calm, idyllic golf course and the outraged golfer adds to the humor, making this a beloved piece of cartoon history. The cartoon's title, "The New Word in Golf," suggests that Bateman may have been poking fun at the idea that golfers have a unique and colorful vocabulary when things don't go as planned. The shocked reactions of the other golfers further emphasize the unexpected nature of the outburst, adding to the overall humor and lightheartedness of the piece. This cartoon is a testament to Bateman's ability to capture the human condition through his art, and "The New Word in Golf" continues to be a favorite among golf enthusiasts and cartoon lovers alike.
