Features: Mark Twain once called playing golf "a fine walk it was, but it was broken up"; while Lee Trevino said playing golf was the most fun he could have while wearing clothes. Whether for fools or experts, playing golf means both enjoying and suffering, and usually on the same day, or even on the same hole. So, how difficult is it to hold a club in both hands and hit a small ball into a small hole? The answer lies in the happiness and suffering of all those golf fans who are obsessed with the game. If you want to know how obsessed they are, just ask their family and friends. No wonder golf has become a subject for the cartoonists of The New Yorker magazine. Robert Mankoff, the cartoon editor of The New Yorker, has selected the most representative works from the past twenty years of cartoons, which fully showcase the passion, anxiety, and frequent absurdity in the world of golf fans. This unforgettable collection includes 100 pages of cartoons, and we believe they will bring you as much joy as a "hole-in-one." At 75, The New Yorker is talked about with great enthusiasm by some in China's cultural circles, as if it represents the highest level a literary magazine can achieve. This is mainly thanks to the introductions by figures like Dong Dingshan, but very few people in China have actually seen it and read it cover to cover. The New Yorker prides itself on its long-standing tradition, maintained through a stable editorial policy (for a magazine). This is both an advantage and a disadvantage—on one hand, it represents an old-fashioned gentlemanly style; on the other hand, it carries an air of being outdated. A stable editorial policy is ensured by a stable editor-in-chief.
