EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1910, showcases Charlotte Cecilia Pitcairn Leitch (1886-1971) in the midst of a powerful swing during her golfing competition against Harold Hilton at an unspecified tournament. The image serves as a promotional piece for the picturesque village of Woldsea, which was planned to be built around this time. The serene landscape, dotted with trees and rolling hills, sets the perfect backdrop for this exhilarating moment in sports history. Cecilia Leitch, a renowned Scottish golfer, was known for her exceptional skill and grace on the green. Her competitive spirit is palpable in this image as she focuses intently on her next shot, while Harold Hilton, a formidable opponent, looks on with a determined expression. The photograph not only highlights the athletic prowess of these golfing legends but also underscores the recreational possibilities that Woldsea had to offer. The village, which was yet to be constructed, promised its future residents a tranquil and idyllic lifestyle, with golf being just one of the many activities available. This photograph, therefore, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of golf as a popular pastime and the allure of the great outdoors. As we marvel at the athleticism and determination displayed by Cecilia Leitch and Harold Hilton, we are transported back in time to an era when the simple pleasures of life, such as a day spent on the golf course, held immense value and joy.
