The Golf Bug is a quirky little piece from 1922, and it really captures that early silent comedy feel with its slapstick humor and visual gags. Parrott and Ralston deliver performances that are playful, if a bit exaggerated, which you’d expect from the era. The pacing feels brisk, and the practical effects, while simple, show an inventive approach to humor that’s quite charming. It's interesting how the film leans into the golf craze of the time, using it as a backdrop for comedic misadventures. Definitely a slice of 1920s culture that gives a peek into the era’s sense of fun, if not the most polished piece out there.
This short has seen limited releases over the years, making original prints rather elusive for collectors. It's less circulated than other silent films, so finding a decent condition copy can be a bit of a treasure hunt. Interest tends to be niche, appealing to those who appreciate the early days of comedy and the quirks of silent film storytelling.
