Step into the early 1900s with this Edwardian image of a golfer poised to tee off. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, the golfer dons a red and black striped jacket, a checkered skirt for women or plus fours for men, and a flat cap or hat. The golfer's expression is focused and determined, as they prepare to make contact with the ball. Surrounding the golfer are a group of onlookers, dressed in their Sunday best, observing the scene with great interest. The women wear elegant skirts and hats, while the men sport blazers and caps. Some spectators even smoke cigarettes or pipes, a common practice during this era. The golf course stretches out behind the golfer, lush and green, with trees and shrubs framing the scene. The golfer's clubs rest at their feet, ready for use. This photograph captures the essence of Edwardian sporting culture, where people came together to enjoy the great outdoors and engage in friendly competition. Golf had become a popular pastime for the upper and middle classes during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The game's simplicity and accessibility made it an attractive option for those seeking recreation and social interaction. This photograph provides a glimpse into the history of golf and the people who loved it, offering a fascinating look into the past.
