The title on this glass negative reads "W. Hagen," which most likely refers to Walter Hagen, the American professional golfer who became one of the best-known players of the 1920s. The record notes that the title comes from unverified caption data, so the identification should be treated as a working attribution. The negative belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with news pictures in the early twentieth century. Golf was growing quickly as a spectator sport in that period, and the collection's sports images offer a useful view of how players and crowds were photographed then.
