EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1913, captures the grace and elegance of golf champion James Braid as he demonstrates his renowned swing at the Harrods sports exhibition. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the 1910s, Braid, with his piercing gaze and confident posture, embodies the spirit of the game that was rapidly gaining popularity during this era. The Harrods sports exhibition provided an excellent platform for athletes to showcase their skills and connect with the public, fostering a growing interest in sports and physical activity. James Braid, a five-time Open Championship winner, was a trailblazer in the world of golf. His innovative approach to the game, which emphasized precision, consistency, and a smooth tempo, revolutionized the way golf was played. The photograph encapsulates the essence of Braid's technique, as he effortlessly swings the golf club, poised to send the ball soaring through the air. The 1910s, often referred to as the Tens or the 10s, was a decade marked by significant advancements in sports and athleticism. This photograph serves as a testament to the era's sporting culture and the enduring legacy of golf champion James Braid. The image, published by the Illustrated London News Ltd and sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world of sports was on the cusp of great change.
