1897 Golf Match Portrush Spectators Whilst 1895
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1897, captures a pivotal moment during a golf match at the renowned Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. The image features a determined lady golfer in the act of putting out on the green, her focus unwavering as she prepares to complete her round. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the fact that women's golf was still in its infancy during this era, with the first Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship not taking place until 1893. The scene is further enlivened by the bustling crowd of spectators, who gather around the green, their expressions a mix of excitement, anticipation, and admiration. Dressed in their finest attire, they appear to be fully immersed in the sporting event, their attention riveted on the unfolding drama. The backdrop of the lush, green fairways of Royal Portrush, with its picturesque clubhouse and rolling hills, adds to the idyllic setting. Royal Portrush, established in 1888, has a rich history in golf, having hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including the Open Championship on multiple occasions. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of golf during the late 19th century and the early days of women's participation in the sport. The photograph, from the esteemed Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring appeal of golf and the captivating moments that unfold on the fairways, both then and now.
