A golf match involving Fred McLeod, a professional golfer of the early twentieth century, is the subject here, and the record dates the glass negative to August 31, 1908. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied newspapers with news and sports images, and the title was written on the negative or caption card rather than checked against other sources. Golf was spreading quickly across the United States in these years as clubs opened beyond the Northeast and tournament play drew more press coverage. Glass negatives of this size were common for the period and preserve fine detail, which makes them useful for studying the clothing and equipment of the time.
