Closely Golf Partner Straw Watched 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lady Puts Out" and dated 1895, offers a glimpse into the early history of golf and the role of women in the sport. The image captures a moment of intense focus and determination as a lady golfer prepares to putt on a lush green. Her partner, dressed in period attire and donning a straw hat, watches closely, no doubt offering encouragement and advice. The serene setting, with the sun casting dappled light through the trees, adds to the sense of tranquility and elegance. Golf, which originated in Scotland in the late 15th century, had become a popular pastime for the British aristocracy by the late 19th century. Women were encouraged to participate in the sport, and the first recorded ladies' golf competition took place in Scotland in 1863. By the 1890s, golf clubs for women were becoming more common, and competitions for women were being held regularly. This photograph is a testament to the grace and style of women golfers in the late 19th century. The lady in the image wears a long, flowing skirt and a blouse with a high collar, typical of the fashion of the time. Her posture is poised and confident, and her concentration is unwavering as she prepares to make her putt. The presence of her partner, who seems equally invested in the outcome of the shot, underscores the social nature of the game and the importance of camaraderie and support. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of golf and the role of women in the sport over a century ago.
