A Different Look at Golf

I’ve always been into visual communication, though I’m not much of an artist. So I was pleased to find Jessica Hagy’s site where she “makes fun of some things and sense of others” through simple charts that you might normally come across in a marketing meeting. She uses simple Venn diagrams, faux line graphs, and other illustrations to reveal the humor or provide some insight on day-to-day topics.

What does this have to do with golf? Nothing, of course. But I liked the idea of using such basic illustrations to explicate difficult subjects so much that I had to apply it to my favorite sport. Thus, what follows are my attempts to do what Hagy does very well… take something complex and break it down into something simple. And maybe to make someone chuckle a little bit, too.
