Description

We had a humorous, first-person story about a middle-aged guy learning to play—and enjoy—golf in all sorts of strange locations and conditions, including snow. Christian Northeast’s illustration, which evokes an old animation cel, captures that feeling you get watching early cartoons where a hapless character struggles over and over to conquer some challenge.
