Summary "John Henry Smith: A Humorous Romance of Outdoor Life" by Frederick Upham Adams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Henry Smith, who narrates his experiences from a golf club while exploring themes of romance, leisure, and social dynamics among the wealthy elite. Central to the narrative is Smith's interaction with Grace Harding, the daughter of a millionaire railway magnate, as they navigate their feelings in a golfing setting filled with humor and lighthearted commentary. The opening of the novel sets the stage at the Woodvale Golf and Country Club, where Smith and his friends are buzzing with excitement over the imminent arrival of Grace Harding. The characters engage in witty banter while reflecting on the social implications of her presence, especially in relation to Smith’s opinions about women and golf. Smith's humorous disdain for female golfers is juxtaposed with his growing interest in Grace, creating an engaging conflict that blends humor with romance. As Smith recounts his encounters, his initial reservations about women on the golf course begin to wane, hinting at a deeper emotional journey he will undertake around both the game of golf and his feelings for Harding.
