Preliminary Courtesies: A Moment of Sportsmanship and Camaraderie before the 1937 500-Yard Championship at Walton Heath This evocative photograph captures a moment of grace and sportsmanship as golfing greats Densmore Shute and Henry Cotton prepare to compete in the 1937 500-Yard Championship at Walton Heath Golf Club. The image, taken in the 1930s, showcases the elegance and etiquette of the game as the two players exchange a firm handshake, signifying mutual respect and acknowledgement of each other's skills.
