In this photograph from October 18, 1934, the new Secretary of Walton Heath Golf Club is warmly greeted by the esteemed club professional, James Braid. The scene unfolds at the picturesque Walton Heath Golf Club, located in the heart of Surrey, England. The summer of 1934 had drawn to a close, and the crisp autumn air bore witness to this significant moment in the club's history. The new Secretary, dressed in a formal suit and hat, extends his hand in a friendly gesture of introduction. James Braid, a Scotsman renowned for his impressive golfing career, returns the greeting with a firm handshake. Braid, who had won the Open Championship an astounding five times, was a beloved figure at Walton Heath, having served as the club professional since 1913. The gentlemen stand against the backdrop of lush, green fairways, framed by the golden hues of autumn leaves. The sun casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the camaraderie and sportsmanship that defined the game of golf. The photograph captures a moment of connection between two men, united by their passion for the sport and their dedication to Walton Heath Golf Club. This image, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of golf in Scotland and England. The Scotsmen in this photograph embody the spirit of the game, embodying the tradition, grace, and sportsmanship that continue to inspire golfers around the world.
