    Wystan, Thanks for the full names of these two gentlemen. We will add those details when we update.

    Vardon is responsible for popularizing the Vardon Grip aka the Overlapping Grip which has become the most used grip amongst golfers the world over. It was supposedly invented by a Scottish chap named Johnny Laidlay see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Vardon#Vardon_Grip Wonderful image, thx for sharing.

    "After President Taft completed his term of office, he served as chairman of the 1913 U.S. Open played at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. It was the first country club in the US." www.thegolfballfactory.com/the-golf-course/hole18/Preside... "The Country Club, located in Brookline, Massachusetts, is the oldest country club in the United States. It holds an important place in golf history, as it was one of the five charter clubs that founded the United States Golf Association, and has hosted numerous USGA tournaments including the famous 1913 U.S. Open won by then-unknown Francis Ouimet. Today, the club is one of the largest of its kind in the northeastern U.S., with about 1300 members." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Country_Club

    Is it just me, or are the lady and the guy in the white jacket making eyes at each other?
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Noel Zia Lee: Thank you for the more complete information about this photograph. In the course of researching it, I also learned that the gentleman in the checked hat is Herbert Jacques, President of the Massachusetts Golf Association, so we will also add that information to the record.
