This photograph, taken in 1939, features two of the most prominent golfers of their time: South African Arthur Bobby Locke and Englishman Richard Dick Burton. The image showcases the camaraderie and friendly competition between the two athletes as they prepare for a round on the lush, verdant fairways of Mere Golf Club in England. Bobby Locke, born in 1917, was a prolific golfer who would go on to win a total of 21 tournaments on the South African circuit, including the South African Open a record-breaking six times. His impressive play earned him the nickname 'The President' and solidified his place in golfing history. Richard Burton, born in 1907, was also a formidable player, with a career spanning over three decades. He was a three-time Open Championship runner-up and a two-time Ryder Cup player for England. Burton's consistent performances and sportsmanship made him a fan favorite and a respected figure in the golfing world. The 1930s, often referred to as the 'Golden Age' of golf, saw the emergence of many legendary players, and this photograph encapsulates the spirit of the era. The black-and-white image, with its timeless composition and the contrasting uniforms of the two golfers, transports us back to a bygone era, where the simple joy of a friendly golf match brought together players from different corners of the world.
