EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "James Braid at Walton Heath Golf Club: A Champion Golfer of an Earlier Era" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, we find James Braid, one of golf's greatest champions, at Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey, England. The image, captured in 1913, transports us back to the early days of golf, a time when the sport was just beginning to gain widespread popularity. Braid, born in 1870, is shown here in his prime, wearing the traditional golfing attire of the era. He dons a flat cap, a common accessory for golfers during this period, and a collared shirt, tucked neatly into his trousers. In his left hand, he holds a golf club, its wooden shaft and iron head a testament to the game's simpler origins. In his right hand, he reaches into his pocket, perhaps to retrieve a tee or a ball. The setting for this portrait is the picturesque Walton Heath Golf Club, located near Walton-on-the-Hill in Surrey. The rolling hills and lush greenery of the course serve as a beautiful backdrop, further emphasizing the serene and pastoral nature of the game. Braid's career in golf spanned over four decades, during which he amassed an impressive record, including five Open Championships and two British Amateur titles. His impact on the sport extended beyond his playing achievements, as he was also an influential figure in golf course design and clubmaking. This photograph of James Braid at Walton Heath Golf Club offers a glimpse into the rich history of golf and its early champions. It serves as a reminder of the game's humble beginnings and the enduring appeal of its simple yet challenging nature.
