A golfer caught mid-swing near Washington, D.C., is the focus here, with the ball and the follow-through capturing a moment that early action photography had only recently made possible. The picture belongs to the National Photo Company Collection, a body of work produced by a commercial studio that documented the capital from roughly 1909 into the early 1930s. Golf was growing quickly as a leisure pursuit among the city's professional and middle classes during these decades, and the pictures from this studio offer a useful record of how the game looked and who played it. The exact course and player are not named in the record, so the image is best read as a snapshot of the sport in the nation's capital between the wars.
