EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and witness the thrilling spectacle of an Edwardian golfer taking a mighty swipe at the small, unsuspecting ball! Dressed in his bright green jacket and plus-fours with turnups, this dapper gentleman is focused intently on his swing, oblivious to the anxious caddy standing nearby. The caddy, clad in a similar outfit but with a hat or cap perched atop his head, cowers in fear, bracing himself for the potential backlash from the golfer's oversized club. The scene is set against the lush, rolling greens of an early 1900s golf course, with curious onlookers and spectators in the background. This humorous and lighthearted image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique fashion and sporting culture of the Edwardian era. The golfer's serious expression and the caddy's fearful posture create an amusing contrast, adding a touch of comic relief to this historical moment.
