A woman identified in the record as Miss M.L. Harrison is shown playing golf at a tournament held by the Essex Country Club, a club on Massachusetts's North Shore. The picture is a glass negative from the Bain News Service, a New York agency whose photographers covered sports, society and news in the early 1900s. The title comes from unverified caption data, so the details of the match are uncertain. Women's golf was growing in popularity before World War I, and the 1908 date places this picture in that early period, when women's competitions were still new enough to draw press attention.
