Five of the Best: A Gathering of Golfing Greatness in 1923 This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, captures a moment of camaraderie and admiration amongst five distinguished golfers during the 1920s. In the foreground, we find four dapper American amateurs, their faces beaming with excitement and pride, having just experienced the thrill of the Old Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. Standing tall amongst them, with an air of wisdom and experience, is the legendary Scottish professional golfer, James Braid. Known as 'The Greatest Scot in Golf', Braid had already made history by winning the Open Championship a record seven times, and was a dominant figure in the world of golf during the early 20th century. The Americans, no doubt, were in awe of Braid's prowess and charisma. They had come to Scotland to learn from the best, and in Braid, they had found a mentor and friend. The group's body language speaks volumes about the mutual respect and admiration they held for one another. The year was 1923, and golf was in the midst of a golden age. The game was growing in popularity both in Europe and America, and the exchange of ideas and techniques between players from different continents was an essential part of its development. This photograph is a testament to the enduring spirit of golf, and the camaraderie that binds golfers from all corners of the world. It is a reminder that, at its core, golf is not just a game, but a shared experience that transcends borders and brings people together.
