Golf links with spectators, Florida, circa 1920

About this postcard

A broad fairway of close-mown grass stretches toward a tree line, where a large crowd of spectators in light summer clothing and hats stands gathered around a red-topped tent or canopy; a lone figure in white stands at the left edge of the green. The card's own caption calls it "One of the Many Wonderful Golf Links in Florida," a generic view rather than a named course. Florida's golf boom of the 1910s and 1920s, tied to resort hotels and winter tourism, produced many such promotional views of courses and tournaments.
