EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1928, features the legendary Scottish professional golfer James Braid (1870-1950) in the midst of a focused and determined swing. Known as the 'Silent Pro' for his quiet and unassuming demeanor on the green, Braid made history as the first winner of The Open Championship in 1901, a title he earned at Muirfield, Scotland. Braid's impressive golfing career began in 1896, and after retiring in 1912, he left an indelible mark on the sport by designing and redesigning many golf courses around the United Kingdom. His innovative approach to golf course architecture revolutionized the game, making it more accessible and enjoyable for players of all skill levels. In this image, Braid's commitment to the sport is evident as he gracefully executes a shot, his concentration unbroken by the presence of the camera. The photograph, taken on the 21st of December, 1928, is a testament to Braid's enduring legacy as one of golf's greatest pioneers and innovators. This evocative image is a must-have for golf enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the rich history of this beloved sport.
