EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1870s, a lively golf match between the London Scottish and Royal Blackheath golf clubs unfolds against the picturesque backdrop of Blackheath, a historic and scenic common in southeast London. The image, captured in the heart of the 1870s, showcases an array of golfers dressed in fashionable attire of the era, adding an intriguing layer of historical context to the scene. The London Scottish Golf Club, founded in 1860, and the Royal Blackheath Golf Club, established in 1608, are two of the oldest golf clubs in England. Their rich history is on full display in this photograph, with golfers from both clubs donning their respective club colors and hats as they engage in friendly competition. The scene is further enlivened by a curious crowd of onlookers, who gather around the edge of the fairway to watch the match unfold. The golfers in this photograph are seen in various stages of play, with some taking aim at the hole, others in the process of swinging their clubs, and still others preparing to putt. The golf balls, visible against the lush, green grass, add a sense of movement and energy to the static image. The scene is completed by the rolling hills, trees, and open sky, which serve as a stunning reminder of the natural beauty of Blackheath and the enduring appeal of golf as a sport. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of golf in the 1870s and the rich history of the London Scottish and Royal Blackheath golf clubs. The image is a testament to the enduring popularity of golf as a sport and the deep connection between golfers and the historic places where they play.
