The subject is the caddies at Baltusrol, the private golf club in Springfield Township, New Jersey, which hosted the U.S. Open in 1915. Caddies of that era were often local boys who carried members' clubs for modest fees, and their work was central to how the game was played on American courses. The record gives no date, and the title comes from caption data the Bain News Service supplied, which has not been independently verified. The Bain collection's news photographs date mainly from the 1900s through the 1920s, so this glass negative likely belongs to that period. It offers a glimpse of the working people behind the game's social world.
