Mrs. E.S. Sandford appears in this view of a golf tournament at the Essex Country Club, dated May 1908. It is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with photographs of current events. Women's golf was growing quickly in the early 1900s, and club tournaments like this one turned the sport into a social occasion as well as a competition. The title comes from caption information the agency recorded, which has not been independently verified, so the specific details of the event are best read with that in mind.
