Golfers posed together on a course in Charleston, a small town in the Mississippi Delta, in a photograph whose exact date is not recorded but falls somewhere between 1900 and 1950. Golf spread through small Southern towns during those decades, usually on modest nine-hole layouts maintained by local clubs, and it was often a social pastime for businessmen and professional families as much as a sport. The print is part of the Wittemann Collection, a larger group of photographs gathered under one name, which makes it useful for seeing how ordinary people in the region dressed, stood, and spent their leisure time.
