EDITORS COMMENTS
In this snapshot taken at the Massereene Golf Links in Antrim, an intriguing foursome comes together as Lady Loughborough and Lord Loughborough engage in a friendly golf match against Lord Massereene and Lady Massereene. The year is 1919, and the scene is set against the picturesque backdrop of the Irish countryside. Lady Loughborough, formerly known as Sheila Chisholm, was a prominent figure in upper class society. Her romantic connections to Albert, Duke of York, who would later become King George VI, added an air of intrigue to her already captivating presence. Lord Massereene, on the other hand, held the esteemed position of Assistant Quartermaster-General on Lord French's staff. The golf course, with its lush greens and rolling hills, provided the perfect setting for this leisurely sporting encounter. The quartet's focus is evident in their determined expressions and postures, as they prepare to take their next shots. The crisp autumn air, the vibrant colors of the leaves, and the serene atmosphere all contribute to the sense of tranquility and elegance that pervades the image. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the aristocracy during the early 20th century. The interplay of class, society, and sport is beautifully captured, providing a fascinating window into a bygone era. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of golf as a pastime for the upper classes, as well as the camaraderie and friendly competition that often accompanied such social engagements.
