Look at that tee box! This is a rare original photograph of the great Harry Vardon during his historic 1900 American Tour. It's difficult to quantify Harry Vardon's effect on American golf during/after his 1900 tour, but it's plainly obvious that he is not given enough credit for spreading the game in America. What Francis Ouimet did 13 year later (arguably) pales in comparison to what Harry Vardon did on his tour in 1900 (heck, even a young Ouimet went to see Vardon during that tour!). 

This rare photograph despicts Harry Vardon teeing off at Fall River Country Club in Massachusetts. The 7x9" photograph on mount is framed to an overall size of 12 1/4" x 15 1/4".
