EDITORS COMMENTS
The Annual Get-There-First Golf Competition" is a humorous illustration by the renowned British cartoonist, William Heath, showcasing the unique spirit of the Tooting Bec Golf Club's annual event. The image, taken from the Illustrated London News (ILN) archives, dates back to the early 20th century, and is courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C. Robinson and Pollinger Ltd. The cartoon captures the essence of the competition, which was not about the skill or precision of golfing, but rather the race to reach the ball before one's opponents. The scene is set at Tooting Bec Golf Course, where golfers are seen in various comical positions, each trying to outrun their competitors to reach the ball first. One golfer is shown leaping over a fence, another is seen sprinting with a golf club in hand, while a third is even riding a bicycle towards the ball. The Annual Get-There-First Golf Competition was a beloved tradition at Tooting Bec, and this illustration perfectly encapsulates the light-hearted and competitive spirit of the event. The cartoon not only showcases the humour and camaraderie of the golfers but also offers a glimpse into the history of the sport and the unique traditions that made it so popular. This illustration is an excellent addition to any golfing or historical collection, providing a fun and insightful look into the past. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the scene to life, making it a must-have for golf enthusiasts and history buffs alike." Credit: Courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.
