Description
Sepia postcard from sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Titled: ‘Golk Links -- Worthington, Mass.' (#42). Thrasher was the son of George M. and Hattie Lyman Thrasher. Guy Thrasher was his brother. The sample book was produced during the 1920s when H. B. Thrasher was living and working in Florida. The images are undated but are probably quite a bit earlier, ca. 1910-1915 or so.
The women are dressed in 'short skirted' golfing clothing, especially the woman on the left. This is hole number 9. The Worthington Golf Club was established in 1904. Guests at the Worthington Inn/Lafayette Lodge were offered golfing opportunities as part of their stay.
