EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1936, we find ourselves transported back in time to the Singapore Golf Club, a beloved institution in the heart of the vibrant city-state. With an active membership of 800, this prestigious club was the social epicenter for golf enthusiasts and the expatriate community in colonial Singapore. The image captures a lively scene on the terrace of the clubhouse, where members gather around the 19th hole, a traditional gathering place for golfers to unwind after a round. The terrace, adorned with lush greenery and elegant furnishings, offers a tranquil respite from the bustling city below. One of the most notable features of the Singapore Golf Club during this era was its battery of sixteen practice tees. This innovative facility allowed members to hone their skills and perfect their swings, ensuring they were always ready for a friendly competition or a serious tournament. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the laughter and conversation of the members as they share stories of their latest games and enjoy a refreshing beverage from the club bar. The camaraderie and sense of community are palpable, making this photograph a beautiful representation of life in Singapore during the 1930s. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the rich history of golf and social life in Singapore, providing a fascinating window into the past and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the game.
