'The Summer Change'
This 1924 Fougasse cartoon, “The Summer Change,” satirises the single-mindedness of golfers by showing that, no matter where they travel, their world shrinks to the same small patch of turf. Each man is said to have gone to some idyllic or exotically named holiday destination, yet every panel depicts him in the identical stance, staring down at the same golf ball on an indistinguishable bit of grass. The scenery alone changes, and even that barely registers. The final panel delivers the punchline: Gregson, who hasn’t been able to get away at all, looks exactly the same as the others. The joke is that for the devoted golfer, there is in fact no change: travel and landscape make no difference — wherever he goes, every place becomes just another spot to bend over a ball.
