EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, golfing legend James Braid is captured in the midst of a pivotal moment during the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) tournament on Romford Links in 1902. The image, published by Illustrated London News Ltd, depicts Braid as he approaches the seventeenth green, poised to make a crucial putt that would bring him closer to victory. Braid, an esteemed Scottish golfer, was a dominant figure in the sport during the early 1900s. His mastery of the game was unparalleled, and he was known for his precision, consistency, and mental fortitude. This photograph captures the intensity and focus that defined his playing style. The Romford Links, located in Essex, England, were a popular venue for golf tournaments during the Edwardian era. The links course, with its undulating terrain and challenging holes, provided a stern test for even the most skilled golfers. The PGA tournament was a prestigious event, and Braid's victory in this match would further cement his reputation as one of the greatest golfers of his time. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the sporting culture of the early 1900s. The players, dressed in their plus-fours and flat caps, are focused intently on the game, oblivious to the spectators who gather around the green. The scene is one of intense competition, yet also of camaraderie and sportsmanship. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of golf and the enduring appeal of the game. It captures a moment in time when James Braid, a true golfing great, etched his name into the annals of golfing history with his victory at the PGA tournament on Romford Links.
