EDITORS COMMENTS
The Golf Amateur Championship at Hoylake in May 1906 was a test of skill and endurance for both players and spectators alike. This photograph captures the crowd gathered to witness the final round between Mr. James Robb and Mr. C.C. Lingen, as they battled against not only each other but also against the elements. The weather on that fateful day was less than ideal, with rain pouring down and strong winds gusting across the course, making conditions extremely unpleasant for all involved. Despite the challenging circumstances, both players showed incredible determination and sportsmanship as they vied for victory. This image is a snapshot of a moment in sporting history, showcasing the dedication and passion of those who participate in amateur golf championships. The import of this event can be felt through the expressions on the faces of the spectators, eagerly watching every swing and putt with bated breath. As we look back on this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the timeless appeal of golf as a sport that brings people together to celebrate competition, camaraderie, and perseverance.
