A golfer identified as Norman Davis appears in this 4 by 5 inch glass negative, a small format used throughout the National Photo Company's work. The company operated in Washington, D.C., during the 1910s and 1920s and recorded daily life in the capital, so its plates offer a glimpse of leisure pursuits that were gaining popularity around 1920. The title comes from information the company wrote on the negative or its sleeve and has not been independently verified. The glass also shows streaks and blemishes from the natural deterioration of its original coating, which is worth noticing when viewing the image.
