Title supplied by cataloger.; Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated May 16, 1939 reads, "When golfers, officials and fair scorers gather at the Rancho Golf Club Sunday afternoon, May 21, for the P.G.A.-amateur team matches the 'Spanish influence' will be felt, as the girls will be garbed as sen~oritas--more or less-with wide brimmed sombreros, etc. Here a group of players, scorers and officials is shown getting in the mood for the big day. Left to right: Charley Lacey, one of the best of the professionals; Ruby Keeler (Mrs. Al Jolson), a scorer; A. La Verne Nichols, a tournament official; Audrey Powell, a fair scorer; Neil Whitney, one of the best of the amateurs; C. Pardee Erdman, president of the Southern California Golf Association; Ruth Elder (Mrs. A. A. Gillespie), a scorer; Fred O'Dannon, a tournament official, and Mrs. Stan Kertes, a scorer. All tournament receipts will go forward financing the trip east of the Los Angeles Public Links team."
