Kept by The Three Cypress Club · Est. 2026
A public record of original golf press photographs: who made each one, when it reached a newspaper's files, and what the back of the print says. Kept in the open, so the next collector starts where the last one finished.
What gets an entry
Original press prints of golf, in our hands or seen at public sale, with the back examined in full.
How it is described
Exactly as the back reads: stamps, slugs, caption sheets and dates, including where they disagree.
On Type
