EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the legendary Scottish golfer, James Braid, in action during the Open Golf Championships at the iconic St Andrews Links in October 18, 1905. The image, taken during the early 1900s and evoking the Edwardian era, shows Braid in full focus as he prepares to take a swing on the coastal course. The Open, then known as The Open Championship or The British Open, is considered one of the oldest and most prestigious golf tournaments in the world, and Braid's participation in this event marked his second victory in this esteemed competition. With the wind in his favor and the cheers of the crowd echoing in his ears, Braid's determination and skill are palpable in this moment. The rugged beauty of the St Andrews Links, with its undulating fairways and challenging greens, adds to the allure of this historic photograph, making it a must-have for any golf enthusiast or history buff's collection.
