EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1914, a caddie master stands tall and authoritative amidst a bustling crowd of eager French girls at the renowned Le Touquet Golf Course. The girls, dressed in simple, turn-of-the-century outfits, clamor for his attention, each vying for the opportunity to be chosen as a caddie for the day. The caddie master, with a stern yet fair expression, carefully scans the crowd, considering each girl's age, agility, and demeanor before making his selection. Golf had been gaining popularity in Europe during the early 20th century, and Le Touquet, with its picturesque seaside location and challenging course, was a favorite destination for both amateur and professional players. The demand for caddies was high, and young girls, eager to earn some extra income, would often gather at the course, hoping to be chosen for the day's work. The scene captures the spirit of competition and determination that was a part of golf culture at the time. The girls, despite the chaos and the long odds against them, remain hopeful, their eyes fixed on the caddie master, ready to seize the opportunity should it come their way. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of golf and the resilience of the human spirit.
