Penn’s Village Beach Reads:

“Ordeal by Golf,” by P.G. Wodehouse

Read by Brian Wengenroth

Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at 2:00 pm

Brian Wengenroth will read another story in P. G. Wodehouse’s collection of short stories about golf, The Clicking of Cuthbert. The Oldest Member returns in this story observing, from the clubhouse of an unnamed golf club somewhere in England around 1920, a group of players struggling on the course. One of them tries to blame his caddie for distracting him. In this story, “Ordeal by Golf,” the Oldest Member remarks that few men possess the proper golfing temperament, and is reminded of a story about Mitchell Holmes. He then proceeds, unbidden needless to say, to relate the story of Mitchell. While many of us are familiar with the idea that team sports help build skills important in life, the surprise ending of this story shows how even the solo game of golf can be an important definer of what can make a person successful.
