EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1934, captures a moment of camaraderie and joy during the Parliamentary Handicap Tournament at Walton Heath Golf Club. Seated around a table, engrossed in animated conversation, are three distinguished gentlemen: James Braid (1870-1950), Walton Heath's esteemed club professional, and two tournament participants, Lord Westmoreland and Mr. J. Waddell. Lord Westmoreland, a prominent figure in British society, and Mr. Waddell had just completed the third round of the prestigious Parliamentary Handicap Tournament. The tournament, which attracted many high-profile participants including HRH The Prince of Wales, was known for its challenging 9-hole course and the opportunity it provided for friendly competition amongst the great and the good of the golfing world. As they shared stories of their game, their expressions convey a sense of excitement and satisfaction, a testament to the enduring appeal of golf and the spirit of sportsmanship. The tranquil setting of Walton Heath Golf Club, with its lush greenery and picturesque surroundings, adds to the idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The 1930s, a time of elegance and sophistication, is reflected in the gentlemen's attire and the refined setting. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when golf was not just a sport, but a cherished pastime and a means of connection between friends and peers. This evocative image, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, is a fitting reminder of the timeless allure of golf and the enduring bonds forged on the fairways.
