EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1900s, two golfing legends, James Braid and J.H. Taylor, are seen engaged in a friendly yet intense match during the professional tournament at Bushey in 1902. The image, captured by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd, transports us back in time to the Edwardian era, where the game of golf was rapidly gaining popularity and prestige. James Braid, a Scottish professional golfer, is depicted on the left side of the photograph with a focused expression, his eyes fixed on the ball as he prepares for his next swing. Known for his innovative approach to the game, Braid was a pioneer in the development of modern golf equipment and course design. His impressive career included numerous victories and a significant impact on the sport's history. On the right side of the image, J.H. Taylor, an English golfer and five-time Open Championship winner, is shown in a more relaxed pose, perhaps taking a moment to assess the situation before making his move. Taylor was renowned for his consistent play and unyielding determination, earning him the nickname "The Gentleman of Golf." The lush, green landscape of Bushey Golf Club serves as the perfect backdrop for this iconic moment in golfing history. The springtime setting, with its blooming flowers and blue skies, adds to the serene and picturesque atmosphere. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of golf as a sport and the timeless rivalry between its greatest players.
