A woman identified as Miss A. Irving, of Orange, New Jersey, is shown playing golf at a tournament held at the Essex Country Club. The picture is a glass negative from the George Grantham Bain Collection, made by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers. The record dates it to May 26, 1908, and the caption details come from the agency's own notes, which the Library of Congress notes have not been independently verified. Women's competitive golf was growing in the early 1900s, and club tournaments like this one gave players a chance to appear in the press.
