EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the annals of golfing history, we find James Braid (middle) in the company of his esteemed competitors at the picturesque Flackwell Heath Golf Club in 1923. The scene is set against the backdrop of a serene, lush golf course, with the gentle undulations of the fairways and greens providing a tranquil contrast to the intense focus and determination etched on the faces of these golfing greats. Braid, a Scottish professional golfer, is flanked by his fellow competitors: Bobbie Harris (left), B. McRae (second from left), Robert Howie (third from left), and Harold Parsons (right). The camaraderie and mutual respect among these golfers are evident as they gather for a moment of respite during their round. The image, taken on the 3rd of January, 1923, captures a pivotal moment in the careers of these golfing legends. Braid, a five-time Open Championship winner, was at the height of his powers, while his fellow competitors were also making their mark on the game. The photograph serves as a testament to the rich history and enduring appeal of golf, as well as the camaraderie and sportsmanship that have long defined the sport. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to a simpler era, where the pursuit of golfing excellence was the sole focus, and the bonds forged on the fairways endured long after the final putt had been sunk. This photograph is a reminder of the timeless allure of golf and the indelible mark that James Braid and his fellow competitors left on the game.
