Golf players J.N. Gatherum, of the Mt. Tabor Field Club, and Tom Anderson, of the Montclair Golf Club, are the pairing in this match, recorded on August 31, 1905. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the body of glass negatives produced by the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines. Golf was spreading quickly across the United States in the early 1900s, and club competitions like this one drew growing press attention as the game moved beyond private courses. The title comes from data the agency supplied and has not been independently verified, so the names and club affiliations are best read as the agency's own record.
