Gallery - Brookline (LOC)

    A similar photo, dated four days earlier:
  • BobMeade said:
    Wystan has noted that Bain's date on this negative is 9/17/13. This then is a photograph of the second day's qualifying play at The Country Club, Brookline of the 1913 U.S. Open Golf Championship. Wystan has already tagged this as US Open. See relevant report in the next day's New York Times here: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=990DE4D7123FE633A... September and October 1913 were pretty heavy golf months in the United States, so the photograph which Wystan shows above from four days earlier may not be at Brookline.

    Wystan and BobMeade, Thank you for the additional information on these two photographs. We'll look into adding some more details to each description based on your sources.

Fred McLeod - golf (LOC)

    Back in the days when men wore suits, even on the golf course. He won the US Open in 1908. Here's what wikipedia has to say about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_McLeod

  • jaefunnnk said:
    Definitely a change in dressing style compared to pro-golfters today and photography definitely captured the follow through!

[Francis DeSales Ouimet] (LOC)

    That looks like a bad lie... I see galleries kept further back in those days.

    houhou75 (see below) says that this is not Vardon, but Francis Ouimet, and he's just posing for the press -- a photographer wouldn't stand in front of a golfer on the course. Harry Vardon was a heavy favorite to win the 1913 U. S. Open at Brookline, but the surprise winner was Ouimet, 20, a former caddie at the Country Club.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan, Thanks for the information on Mr. Vardon. We will expand the record when we update.
  • BobMeade said:
    Harry Vardon also made famous the "Vardon grip" a way of holding the golf club where (for a right handed golfer) the small finger of the right hand overlaps the index finger of the left hand on the club. Also known as the overlapping grip. Used by many golf champions to the present day. His grip technique can be seen in this photograph. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Vardon#Vardon_Grip
