What you’re looking at

This six-panel golf comic depicts a humorous domestic scene. A man and woman play golf together, with the woman consistently outperforming the man. In the early panels, she makes excellent shots while he struggles. By the final panels, the man becomes increasingly frustrated—the text reads "ON!" and "hey! you said least replace the divot!"—suggesting the woman has embarrassed him through her superior golfing skill. The satire likely mocks traditional gender dynamics of the era: a husband's wounded pride when outshone athletically by his wife. The title "A Reminiscence" suggests this depicts a memorable, humbling experience. The humor relies on inverting expected gender roles in sports, presenting the woman as the competent golfer while the man's frustration reveals his fragile ego.
