1913 Jerome Travers 'Superstar Golfer and His Family' Early Photo
1913 Dated photograph of golfer Jerome Travers with his parents and two small children as he sailed for Europe to compete in the British Open and British Amateur tournaments. An early image in nice shape, the photo has a full paper caption on the back with tremendous detail about the upcoming tournaments in Europe! Caption Reads: Jerome Travers & Fmaily Mch 12, 1914 Jerome Travers sailed today for Liverpool where he will begin to train for the three big golf meets-- the British amateur and open championship and the French amateur tournament. He was accompanied by Fred Herreshoff. Other golfers who will follow are Frabcis Ouimet, John Anderson , Helnie Schmidt and possibly "Chick" Evans. Travers was in England in 1911 but was not playing seriously and made a very poor showing. At the pier to see Traversoff were his father and mother, his two children and Miss Neidlinger a member of his family.
