London, Published December 1st 1899 By The Fine Art Society Ltd. 148 New Bond Street. New York. Boussod Valadon & Co. A 'stymie' refers to an old rule in golf. This is where in a singles match play game (or in team match formats in which there was only one ball per side, such as an alternate shot), one player's ball is blocking the path of the another player's ball on the green. If the balls are not within six inches of each other, the obstructing player's ball is not lifted. Instead the player who was further away from the hole had to attempt to putt around the obstacle ball. Sometimes a player would even attempt to chip his ball over the opponent's ball into the cup. If the putters ball should strike his opponents ball there was no penalty, however he must then play the ball from its resting place. His opponent has the option of putting from the balls new position or returning it to its original position on the green. If the putt should strike the opponent's ball and knocked it into the hole, your opponent is said to have holed out! The artist was a member of the Royal Watercolour Society and The Royal Institute exhibiting at the Royal Academy between 1872 and 1904.

Antique Golf Print, Royal North Devon Golf Club, Photogravure of Westward Ho
Located in Oxfordshire, GB
Royal North Devon Golf Club 1893 by Mayall & Co. Ltd. A great image of the members of the 'Royal North Devon Golf Club, Westward Ho!' from 1893. The figures are all photographs superimposed onto a painted background of the course. In the margin is printed 'Permanent Autotype, Produced by Mayall & Co. Ltd. 73 Piccadilly'. The image appears very much photographic but is more of a photomechanical print rather than a photograph. John Jabez Edwin Paisley Mayall (1813-1901) was an English photographer who in 1860 took the first carte-de-visite photographs of Queen Victoria. Taken from Royal North Devon:- Royal North Devon at Westward Ho! Can rightly claim to be the cradle of English Golf. Founded in 1864, it is the oldest golf course in the country and is regarded as the St Andrews of the South. The golf course is as tough as any of the UK's more famous links layouts and has recently been placed in Golf World 's 'Top 100 Courses in the World' that a golfer 'must play'. Not only is Royal North Devon a great course, it is also a place of huge historical importance. Inside the warmly welcoming clubhouse, the golf museum, honours boards and the clubs top competition trophies are worth a visit on their own and help to tell the story of the game and this remarkable club's unique place in it. Above all, this is great, natural golf that is largely unchanged from 100 years ago when Harold Hilton et al pronounced Westward Ho! As England's No 1 competition golf course. RND is pure, raw exhilaration and ultimately the experience of playing a fast running links in a stiff breeze still tests the very best in the game. Many of the great players of the last 100 years were regular competitors at RND but the greatest of them all is without doubt John Henry Taylor...
