A woman identified as Mrs. L.W. Callan takes a swing in this May 1908 glass negative from a golf tournament at the Essex Country Club. The Bain News Service, the New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, supplied pictures like this to newspapers of the day, and its caption details were often gathered quickly and not always checked. Women's golf was growing fast in the early 1900s, and club tournaments gave female players a rare public stage. The name and event come from the negative's notes, so treat the identification as provisional.
