Chip Lagwell – GolfToons 59
Hamilton Chip Lagwell III When non-golfers conjure up images of golfers they tend to envision someone like Hamilton Lagwell III, fondly referred to as “Chip”.

The Shadow Knows – GolfToons 18
The Shadow Knows “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men! The Shadow Knows!” Much to my surprise the USGA addresses using a shadow to indicate the line of a putt. Rule 8-2b/1 “On the Putting Green” actually exists and to my amazement is legal, as long as your caddie or playing partner

Hit it and Hope. Every now and then you face a putt that beckons words like intimidating or unnerving. The down hill left to right slider.

Eternal Struggle – GolfToons 3
Absurd may be the best word to describe golf, though futility also comes to mind. What is the Eternal Struggle of golf?

Yes, I Do Play Golf – GolfToons 1
As any golfer knows, one of the minor downsides to the game is the infamous golfer’s tan. I play golf! Blinding white, snowman torso with dark appendages of legs and arms sticking out.
