EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Grit' by Wilmot Lunt, transports us back to the roaring twenties and the world of golf. The image showcases a young caddy taking a leisurely rest as his golfer client becomes increasingly tenacious in his attempt to extract a ball from a sandy bunker. The golfer's determined expression and clenched fists suggest a growing frustration and anger, while the caddy's nonchalant posture and amused glance add a touch of comic relief to the scene. The game of golf, with its inherent challenges and demands for persistence and grit, lends itself beautifully to humorous moments. This image, taken in 1927, encapsulates the spirit of the sport during that era, where golfers donned plus-fours and flat caps, and the pursuit of par was a source of great pride and determination. The contrast between the caddy's calm and the golfer's increasing fury creates an intriguing tableau. The sandy bunker, a common hazard on the golf course, is a formidable adversary, testing the mettle and grit of even the most skilled golfers. In this moment, the golfer's persistence and tenacity are on full display, as he digs his heels in and continues his valiant effort to free the ball. Wilmot Lunt's 'Grit' is a charming and humorous snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of golf during the 1920s. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the game and the human spirit's ability to find humor in the face of adversity.
