A crowd of spectators gathers to follow a golf match somewhere in the Washington, D.C., area, a scene that reflects how quickly the game was gaining followers in the early twentieth century. The picture comes from the National Photo Company, which photographed the city and its surroundings between about 1907 and the early 1930s, so it captures the everyday social life that surrounded the sport as much as the play itself. Golf had become a fashionable pastime for the middle and upper classes, and matches drew onlookers who walked the course alongside the players. The photograph's exact location and the players involved are not identified in its record, but its dates place it in the years when golf clubs were expanding across the region.
