Description
For Stuart Davenport, summer weekends mean an 18-hole round of golf. And his steady girlfriend, Rhonda Roykirk, whom he taught the game to, often accompanies him on the golf course. But golf is not without its little aggravations, usually the result of a poor shot. And, as Rhonda is acutely aware, while Stuart is an above-average golfer, he's no Tiger Woods. And here, as Stuart tries to get his ball out of the rough, Rhonda's thoughts about Stuart's playing are succinct and to the point. While yours truly has never played golf nor been part of any golf twosome or foursome, I've seen many examples of golfers venting their frustrations when the game doesn't go their way. I've seen grown men (and sometimes grown women) throwing temper tantrums like two-year-olds. And while Stuart is too mature and dignified for that kind of behavior, nevertheless, he's starting to regret playing today. (medium: pen and ink, Sketchbook digital coloring).
