EDITORS COMMENTS
This page from The Illustrated London News, dated September 20, 1889, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ladies golf at the iconic St. Andrews course in Scotland during the late 1800s. The illustration, skillfully rendered by an unidentified artist, showcases a group of elegant and determined women engaged in their passionate pursuit of the sport. Dressed in high-necked blouses, long skirts, and bonnets, these intrepid ladies display a sense of focus and dedication as they prepare to take their swings on the lush, rolling fairways of St. Andrews. The serene setting is further enhanced by the picturesque backdrop of the historic town and the turquoise waters of the North Sea in the distance. Golf had long been considered a gentleman's sport during the 19th century, but the growing popularity of the game among women led to the establishment of the Ladies' Golf Union in England in 1893. This image serves as an early testament to the emergence of ladies golf as a respected and enjoyable pastime for women, who were increasingly embracing the sport and challenging gender norms of the time. The Illustrated London News, a leading weekly publication, captured the spirit of the times by featuring this image of ladies golf at St. Andrews, showcasing the grace, style, and determination of these pioneering women golfers.
