EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the final International Foursome match between England and Scotland, held at the picturesque Deal golf course in England in 1905. The series, consisting of four matches, brought together some of the greatest golfers of the era, with England represented by the legendary Harry Vardon and J.H. Taylor, and Scotland by James Braid and A. Herd. In this image, Vardon is seen in focused determination as he puts at the second green, with the crowd of spectators and onlookers eagerly watching his every move. The green, dotted with holes from previous putts, is surrounded by the lush, undulating fairways of Deal, adding to the serene beauty of the scene. The International Foursome was a popular format in golf during the early 1900s, with each team consisting of two pairs of players who played against each other in alternate shot format. This format allowed for a greater degree of strategy and teamwork, as each player had to consider not only their own game but also that of their partner. The match between England and Scotland was a hotly contested one, with both teams displaying exceptional skill and sportsmanship. In the end, it was England who emerged victorious, securing their place in golfing history with this impressive win. This photograph is a testament to the rich golfing heritage of the early 1900s, and offers a glimpse into the passion and dedication of the players and fans alike. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where the simple joy of the game brought people together in friendly competition and camaraderie.
