Old Photograph 17th Green Golf Course Machrie Islay Scotland

Old photograph of golfers on the 17th Green on the golf course at Machrie, Islay, Scotland. The Machrie Links hosted a famous match in 1901 between James Braid, John Henry Taylor and Harry Vardon for a prize of £100, reputed to be the largest prize of its kind at that time in the British Isles. Harry Vardon called Mount Zion, now the 17th hole, but originally the first hole, " the hardest hole I have seen ".
