Description

Photograph of a golf tournament at the Riviera Country Club, showing a large crowd, ca.1920. A row of men, dressed in either suits or early traditional golf clothes, are crowding the foreground while looking towards a golf game. Further in the background, a larger crowd of people can be seen sitting on a hillside. Small patches of vegetation can be seen along the hillside behind the crowd. The crowds of people are encircling a grassy area in the middle, where golf players appear to be in the midst of a game. In the extreme background on the top of the hill, several additional people can be seen standing. A large building can also be seen, with people watching the tournament from the balcony of the structure.
