Description
Black and white photograph of two men with one woman in between them. All three are holding golf clubs. They are standing on a golf course and other golfers can be seen in the background, along with some apparent obstacles, such as sections of concrete pipe. The golf course is encircled by a fence and beyond may be a body of water such as a bay. Housing can be seen in the far distance on the left side.
Narrative
The woman in the centre is Laura Frances Audain. The other people and location depicted in this photograph have not yet been identified. Their style of clothing suggests late 1920s or early 1930s.
History of Use
This photograph was taken in about 1928 and placed in an album created by the James and Laura Dunsmuir family at Hatley Park. 

Some of the images of Hatley Park in the album show minimal landscaping, suggesting those photos date from when the house was newly completed, around 1910. At least one of the album's photographs was used as a post card and a postmark on the back shows a date of 1929, giving an approximate date range for the photographs in the album.

Sometime after Laura Miller Dunsmuir's death in 1937, the album became the property of Dola Frances Dunsmuir (also known as Mrs. Dola Cavendish) and was kept at her house Dolaura in Colwood, B.C. After her death, the album was owned by her sister Kathleen's daughter, Judith Humphreys (also known as Mrs. Judith Joy). Her daughter donated the album to Craigdarroch Castle in 2012.
