EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lady Golfer Addressing the Ball" and dated circa 1890, offers a glimpse into the rich history of golf and the emergence of women in the sport. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer and now part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a determined and focused lady golfer in the midst of her swing. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the late 1800s, she wears a long, flowing skirt and a high collar blouse, accessorized with a hat and gloves. Golf, a game that originated in Scotland in the 15th century, had gained significant popularity in England by the late 1800s. Women's participation in the sport, however, was a relatively new phenomenon. The first recorded ladies' golf club was established in Scotland in 1867, and the first ladies' golf tournament took place in 1873. By the 1890s, golf had become an increasingly popular pastime for women, and they began to form their own clubs and compete in tournaments. This photograph is a testament to the growing acceptance of women in golf and their ability to excel in the sport. The lady golfer in the image stands confidently over the ball, her gaze fixed on the target, her posture poised and strong. Her expression conveys a sense of determination and focus, reflecting the dedication and passion that women golfers brought to the game. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of golf and the important role that women have played in shaping its evolution. From its humble beginnings in Scotland to its global popularity today, golf has come a long way, and this image captures a pivotal moment in its history. With her timeless elegance and unwavering focus, the lady golfer in the photograph continues to inspire and captivate us, reminding us of the enduring allure of the game and the indomitable spirit of those who play it.
