EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the historic moment of July 21st, 1985. Sandy Lyle, a renowned golfer with an undeniable passion for the sport, is seen delicately examining the prestigious Claret Jug. With his eyes fixed on the trophy that symbolizes victory in one of golf's most esteemed tournaments - The British Open Golf Championship - Lyle exudes a sense of awe and reverence. What makes this image even more remarkable is Lyle's choice to don a replica of the original Championship Belt. This iconic accessory harks back to golf's early days when players were awarded belts instead of trophies as recognition for their exceptional skills and triumphs on the course. By wearing this replica belt, Lyle pays homage to golfing history while also showcasing his deep appreciation for tradition. The setting itself adds another layer of significance to this photograph. Royal St Georges Sandwich serves as an elegant backdrop, its lush green fairways stretching out into the distance under clear blue skies. It is here that countless legends have etched their names into golfing lore, and it is here that Sandy Lyle solidified his place among them. Colorsport has masterfully preserved this moment in time through their expert photography skills. Their ability to capture not just an image but also emotions and stories within a single frame truly shines through in this stunning print.
