Mrs. Gourlay Dunn Webb is the name attached to this glass negative of a golfer, though the record notes that the title comes from unverified caption information from the Bain News Service. George Grantham Bain ran that New York agency, which supplied news pictures to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century. Women's golf grew noticeably in the 1900s and 1910s, when many clubs began admitting female members and the press liked to show society players in fashionable dress. The record gives no date, so the exact occasion remains unknown.
