EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a humorous moment on the golf course in Sheffield, Yorkshire, back in 1901. The scene unfolds with two golfers engaged in a playful conversation. The first golfer anxiously asks if his companion has found his lost ball yet, to which the second golfer responds with a mischievous grin, "No, but I've found something a jolly sight better". This witty exchange perfectly encapsulates the camaraderie and lightheartedness often associated with this beloved sport. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries and now housed at Sheffield City Archives, this original poster from the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph showcases not only the city's rich history but also its sense of humor. The image transports us back to an era when golf was gaining popularity among sports enthusiasts. The photograph itself is expertly captured by OS12000 A1 #58195, who skillfully brings out the charm and character of these early 20th-century golfers. It serves as a delightful reminder that even amidst competitive play, there is always room for laughter and unexpected discoveries on the fairway. As we admire this piece from y13821 collection at Sheffield Libraries' archives, it reminds us of how photographs can transport us through time and evoke emotions long after they were taken.
