More about this scene

In the ten years or so prior to the Great War, golf went through a boom with a large number of courses opening throughout the UK. Professionals like James Braid were often engaged to give an exhibition match on the opening day. One such course hired a full military band - try timing shots to the strains of 'Annie Laurie' - but Braid got his own back on the last green when he put his ball straight through the big bass drum.
