Portraits, the Grand Match, and the Clubhouse Wall · The American Game
Spectators and Golfers at a Match, 1908
Bain News Service, photograph, May 1908 · press photograph
What it is
A Bain News Service glass negative dated 20 May 1908, captioned Golf Match on the plate.
Why it matters
The early American club game in one frame: the shingled clubhouse, the boys carrying, the men in caps.
What to notice
The caddies are children, and several of them are looking at the camera rather than the players.
The caddie always knows where the photographer is.
