EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1927, captures a memorable moment from a benefit match organized for the renowned British golfer, Rowland Jones. The image features James Braid, one of the greatest figures in the history of golf, along with a group of distinguished golfers and actors, who graciously offered their services as caddies for the day. James Braid, a five-time Open Championship winner and a pioneer in the development of modern golf equipment, stands proudly among his esteemed peers. The other golfers in the photograph include the likes of J.H. Taylor, Archie Simpson, and Alex Herd, all of whom were highly accomplished players in their own right. The actors, including the famous comedian, George Robey, and the dashing film star, Basil Dean, bring an added element of excitement and glamour to the event. The benefit match was held at Walton Heath Golf Club, Surrey, and was a resounding success, raising much-needed funds for Jones, who was recovering from a serious illness. The spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship was evident in the smiles and relaxed demeanor of all those involved, as they came together to support their friend and colleague. This photograph is a wonderful reminder of the rich history of golf and the unique bond that exists between its players, both on and off the course. The 1920s, a decade marked by innovation and excitement, is beautifully encapsulated in this image, making it a must-have for any golf or sports enthusiast's collection.
