" ... The course opened on Saint Stephen's Day 1894 with nine holes. It was extended to eighteen holes in 1896 with a new clubhouse and a further nine holes were added in 1971. ... " From - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portmarnock_Golf_Club So is this tin shed the old or new 1896 clubhouse - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000043310 ??

The wiki article above has this photo with "c1900" which implies the tin shed was the new clubhouse.

Architecture of Dublin is always amazing! ...

There are terraces of tall houses/chimney stacks on the skyline. Looking at the 25" 1900ish map, the only possibility I see is Baldoyle.

If I'm expected to produce extra sticky buns, then I need at least 24 hours' notice... 😀

Another photo of them seated and hatless has "[ca. 28 September 1940]" - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000595002

"Born in Esker, Killoe, Co Longford, Frank Gormley and his brother Michael were part of the Killoe Company (B Company) of the 1st Battalion, Longford Brigade and the North Longford Flying Column during the War of Independence. Frank moved from Adjutant to the leading role of Captain and Commander within B Company when Michael Reynolds replaced Seán Mac Eoin at the head of the Longford Brigade following the Blacksmith's imprisonment in 1921. He also held the role of a secretary to the Dáil Éireann courts. Gormley opposed the Treaty and later won a Dáil Éireann seat for Fianna Fáil in Longford-Westmeath as part of their first government in 1932. He also held the post of captain in the Irish Army, and served until his retirement after World War 2. He married Bridget Doherty in 1940.

At the dawn of the 1920s, the world was still reeling from the First World War. The conflict, which ended just over a year before the new decade began, had a fundamental and irreversible effect on society, culture, and fashion. Essential to these new styles was a simplicity that had not previously been seen in women’s fashion. Dress historian Jayne Shrimpton writes in Fashion in the 1920s: “The development of a more convenient, modern female wardrobe was a major trend of the 1920s and was achieved through the progressive simplification of dress as the decade advanced – a rejection of formality and multiple layers, in favor of comfort and a lighter, more natural effect.” This simplicity created the popular tubular “la garçonne” look that dominated much of the decade. Also known as the flapper, the look typified 1920s dress with a dropped waist and creeping hemlines that could be created in economical fabrics. Coco Chanel helped popularize this style (Fig. 1) and was a prominent designer during the period. Both waistlines and hemlines followed similar, though inverse, projections throughout the decade, as waistlines dropped until 1923 before beginning to rise again in 1928; while hemlines rose until 1926 when they started to fall again.
