EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of golf's oldest championship as James Braid, a five-time Open Champion and one of the game's greatest pioneers, leads a group of intrepid competitors towards the 10th green at the 1923 Open Championship at Troon. Dressed in their plus fours and flat caps, the golfers navigate the undulating terrain with focused determination, their clubs slung over their shoulders. The rugged Scottish coastline provides a dramatic backdrop, with the Irish Sea crashing against the shore in the distance. The Open Championship, first contested in 1860, is the world's oldest major golf tournament, and Braid's dominance during the 1920s is a testament to his exceptional skill and enduring legacy. This image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of golf and the unwavering spirit of its most dedicated players.
