Humorous golfing caricature from the turn of the 20th century, showing varied reactions in a rural town as a portly, elderly gentleman knee deep in a lily pond beside a tavern attempts to hit his ball out of clump of marsh grasses. His fellow golfers, one seated in the donkey-drawn golf cart, watch intently — except for the young man busy flirting with a country girl in a bonnet. A farmer and his son look on in amusement, the proprietor of “The Jolly Jug” watches wearily while his wife looks horrified, a dog barks, puppies scamper about, and a frog leaps out of the way.
