1. Title: The Ever-Growing Popularity of Golf: A Historical Map Illustration of Golf Clubs and Courses Near London in the Early 20th Century This map print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the burgeoning popularity of golf in the early 20th century. The illustration, devoid of commercial intent, showcases the proliferation of golf clubs and courses within convenient reach of London, a testament to the sport's growing appeal among the British populace. As the map reveals, the London area was dotted with an impressive array of golfing establishments. The metropolis itself boasted several clubs, including the prestigious Royal St. George's Golf Club in Sandwich, which has hosted The Open Championship numerous times. Surrounding London, a multitude of courses spread across the verdant English countryside, from the picturesque heathlands of Surrey and Kent to the tranquil grounds of Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. The map's historical significance lies in its ability to encapsulate the transformative period in golf's history. Prior to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, golf was primarily an elitist pastime, enjoyed by the aristocracy and the affluent. However, with the expansion of the railway network and the establishment of more accessible golf clubs and courses, the sport became increasingly popular among the middle and working classes. This democratization of golf contributed to its widespread appeal and eventual recognition as a national pastime. In summary, this map print from Mary Evans Prints Online offers a unique perspective on the ever-growing popularity of golf in the early 20th century. It showcases the numerous golf clubs and courses that flourished near London, illustrating the sport's increasing accessibility and democratization during this transformative period in its history.
