EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1908, captures the legendary golfer James Braid in action at the Hampton Court Park Golf Club. The image finds Braid in his element as he prepares to drive the ball from the sixth tee. Dressed in the fashion of the era, Braid dons a plus-fours outfit, a sweater, and a flat cap, adding to the authenticity of the scene. James Braid, a Scottish professional golfer, was one of the most influential figures in the history of the sport. He is considered a pioneer of modern golf, having won the Open Championship a record seven times between 1890 and 1908. His dominance in the sport during this period solidified his place as a golfing legend. The Hampton Court Park Golf Club, located in Surrey, England, was an esteemed golfing destination in the early 1900s. The picturesque course, with its lush greens and serene surroundings, provided the perfect backdrop for Braid to showcase his extraordinary skills. As Braid takes a firm grip on his club, he surveys the fairway ahead, focusing intently on his target. The tranquil atmosphere is interrupted only by the sound of the approaching crowd, eagerly anticipating his powerful drive. The photograph freezes this moment in time, allowing us to witness the grace and precision of Braid's swing, a testament to his unparalleled mastery of the game. This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a unique glimpse into the world of golf during the early 1900s, providing a fascinating insight into the history of this beloved sport.
