Open Golf Championship (1927)

Item title reads: "The open golf Championship. Thousands brave the weather to see "Bobby" Jones defend his title."



St. Andrews, Scotland



M/S golfers waiting to take part in competition, wearing plus fours and carrying large umbrellas. They congregate. One starts to tee off - he searches deep in his pockets for a tee, - gets ready and swings at the ball. L/S of the crowd - lots of them with umbrellas. L/S of the crowd running across the course - what have they missed? They gather about one of the holes to see the final putts. M/S one player attempts a putt and misses.



Note: Lots of umbrellas in one shot - are they well covered ? The shot of the crowd running across the grass looks quite funny.
