Summary: "Divots" by P. G. Wodehouse is a collection of humorous golf stories written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around various characters, notably Ferdinand Dibble, who struggles with his golf game and the psychological burdens it brings, reflecting a blend of sport and personal relationships. Wodehouse uses the game of golf as a backdrop to explore themes of love, ambition, and the absurdities of life, infused with his trademark wit and light-hearted storytelling. The opening of "Divots" introduces us to a golf course as it opens for the season, with a crowd eagerly anticipating the first game. The narrative focuses on the hapless Jenkinson, a poor golfer whose misery is noted by the Oldest Member of the club, who reflects on what a "goof" is—someone who is overly invested in golf to the detriment of their well-being. As Jenkinson's struggles are paralleled by those of Ferdinand Dibble, who is revealed to be desperately in love with Barbara Medway but hindered by his lack of self-confidence in both golf and romance, we see how golf can intertwine with personal challenges. The stage is set for a humorous exploration of relationships and the human condition against the backdrop of the sport. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
