EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1867, captures a historic golf match that took place at Leith Links in Scotland. The scene features three of the most renowned figures in the early history of golf: Old Tom Morris (aged 45), Young Tom Morris (aged 17), and Willie Park (age unknown). Old Tom Morris, a native of St. Andrews, was a legendary Scottish golfer, greenkeeper, and clubmaker. He dominated the sport in the mid-19th century, winning the Open Championship four times between 1861 and 1867. His influence on the game extended beyond his playing career, as he helped design courses and popularize the use of the gutta-percha ball. Young Tom Morris, Old Tom's nephew, was also a prolific golfer. He made his mark on the sport at a young age, winning the Open Championship for the first time at just 19 years old in 1868. This photograph, taken a year before his first victory, shows him already displaying the form and skill that would make him a formidable competitor. Willie Park, a Scottish golfer and greenkeeper, was also a significant figure in the early days of the sport. He won the Open Championship in 1860 and 1863, and his innovative approach to course design, including the use of sand bunkers, helped shape the modern game. The photograph's setting, Leith Links, is a historic golf course located in Edinburgh, Scotland. The links course, which dates back to the 16th century, has hosted numerous golf competitions over the years, including the Open Championship in 1868 and 1870. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of golf during a time when the sport was still in its infancy. The image of these three golfing greats, each at different stages of their careers, engaged in a friendly yet competitive match, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the game and the rich history of Scottish golf.
