EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of James Braid, a legendary Scottish golfer from the early 20th century. With his distinguished moustache and confident gaze, Braid exudes an air of sporting prowess and determination. As one of the formidable triumvirate that dominated professional golf before World War I, he left an indelible mark on the sport. Braid's accomplishments speak for themselves - a five-time winner of the prestigious Open Championship in 1901,1905,1906,1908, and 1910. Not only was he a skilled player but also a highly regarded golf course designer. Starting as club professional at Romford before moving to Walton Heath, Braid's influence extended beyond his own success on the greens. In this portrait captured around 1905 by photographer Sarah Fabian Baddiel (creator unknown), we see Braid dressed impeccably in formal attire befitting his status as a champion sportsman. His waistcoat and jacket are complemented by a stylish cap atop his headgear – all elements that add to his charismatic presence. As we admire this image frozen in time, it is impossible not to feel captivated by Braid's winning spirit and dedication to his craft. He represents not just Scotland but also Britain itself during this era of sporting excellence. This photograph serves as both a testament to James Braid's remarkable achievements and an enduring reminder of golf's rich history in our collective consciousness.
