EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, golfing legend James Braid is captured in the midst of an exhibition match at Sandy Lodge in October 1940. The image, taken during the tumultuous period of the Second World War, showcases Braid's unwavering dedication to the sport he loved, even amidst the challenges and uncertainties of wartime. Braid, a Scotsman who is widely regarded as one of the greatest figures in the history of golf, is seen here taking a focused and powerful shot on the fairway. His attire, consisting of a crisp white shirt, sweater, and trousers, contrasts sharply with the somber backdrop of the war-torn era. The photograph also reveals the lush greenery of the golf course, a testament to the resilience of nature and the enduring appeal of the game. The exhibition match, organized in aid of the Red Cross, served as a much-needed morale booster for the local community during these trying times. Golfers and sports enthusiasts from all walks of life gathered at Sandy Lodge to witness Braid and his fellow players in action, momentarily forgetting the hardships and anxieties of the war. This photograph, taken in the early 1940s, offers a poignant reminder of the power of sports and camaraderie to bring people together, even in the most difficult of circumstances. James Braid's unwavering commitment to golf and his charitable endeavors serve as an inspiring testament to the indomitable human spirit.
