EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in 1902, we are transported back to a prestigious golf tournament in Scotland. The image captures the intense anticipation as a skilled golfer prepares to tee off, surrounded by a crowd of spectators eagerly watching his every move. Amongst the onlookers stands Tom Morris, one of the renowned competitors of that era, positioned second from left. The scene exudes an air of old-world charm and elegance. The historic clubhouse serves as a backdrop for this momentous occasion, while the Scottish countryside provides a picturesque setting for this exhilarating sport. Men dressed in traditional golf attire can be seen scattered throughout the frame, their caddies dutifully standing by with golf equipment at hand. This photograph is not just a snapshot frozen in time; it represents an entire century's worth of sporting history. It encapsulates the passion and dedication exhibited by these sportsmen who have become legends within their field. Each player depicted - Alexander Herd, Andrew Kirkcaldy, Archie Simpson, Ben Sayers - has etched their name into golfing lore alongside Tom Morris Senior himself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Alexander Herd and other talented photographers whose names remain unknown to us today, we cannot help but feel connected to the past. This image transports us back to an era where skillful athletes showcased their prowess on lush green fairways amidst enthusiastic crowds – forever immortalized through photography. "
