| Summary | "Mr. Punch's Golf Stories" by J. A. Hammerton is a collection of humorous anecdotes and illustrations centered around the sport of golf, written during the late 19th century. The work captures the eccentricities and misadventures associated with golfers and caddies, offering a satirical look at the game and its players. Likely drawing from the rich tradition of British humor epitomized by "Punch" magazine, the book features various characters, including the comical caddie 'Enery Wilks. The opening portion introduces readers to the humor of golf, highlighting how the game can be deceptively challenging for beginners while providing endless amusement for spectators. It features 'Enery Wilks, a clever caddie, who shares his observations on golfers, emphasizing their various quirks and mishaps as they navigate the course. Through a series of witty narratives, the text presents encounters with a range of characters, from serious golfers to clumsy novices, setting the stage for a lighthearted exploration of life on the golf links.
