Description
Photograph of a golf tournament on Santa Catalina Island, ca.1920. In the center, a golf player is visible slightly bending down while holding a club. He is standing on a putting green area while a crowd of people stand in a semi-circle around it. In the foreground at right, three men are standing next to a film camera on a tripod while looking towards the player. The men are standing by a fence at left, which is enclosing a hole in the ground with a stone wall along its side. In the background at right, a hillside is visible with a line of utility poles along its slope. Further in the background at left, the large Casino building can be seen near a group of homes. The ocean can be seen in the horizon.
