Many thanks to Graham Price for these timely photos of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club taken in the 1920’s. Timely of course because the 2014 Open at Hoylake is only about a month away now. If you’ve not been down Stanley Road and had a look at what’s going on then you should …it’s surprising what you can fit in around the edges of fairways and putting greens! Graham has also sent me another good photo of the Hoylake Spitfire that I’ll hopefully publish soon too.
Here’s one of the Club House from 1925:
And here’s a shot of the links in 1923:
Hey, Graham. Great photos-where did you find them then? And very timely!
I wonder if my Gr Uncle (James Henry Dodd) was in the pictures? He started off being a caddy there and then became a professional golfer.
Does anyone have any names?
Another great photo graham
