EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant photograph, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sweeny are captured in a moment of relaxation during the annual Bucks Club golf expedition at the picturesque seaside resort of Le Touquet in 1933. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the lush green fairway, framing the stylish couple as they prepare for their next swing. Mrs. Sweeny, formerly known as Margaret Whigham, was a prominent figure in society circles at the time. She had made headlines in 1930 when she was crowned Deb of the Year, a title bestowed upon the most eligible debutante of the season. Her second marriage to Charles Sweeny, a wealthy businessman, brought her into the ranks of the aristocracy, and she later became the Duchess of Argyll. Dressed in the height of fashionable 1930s attire, Mrs. Sweeny exudes grace and sophistication in her flowing floral dress and matching hat. Mr. Sweeny, looking dapper in his golfing attire, completes the scene with a confident and charming smile. The couple's effortless style and poise reflect the elegance and glamour of the era, making this photograph a captivating glimpse into the history of society and golf in the 1930s. Le Touquet, with its stunning coastline and renowned golf courses, was a popular destination for the wealthy and fashionable set during this period. The annual Bucks Club golf expedition was a highly anticipated event, attracting prominent figures from both the golfing and social worlds. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the wealthy and stylish, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of golf as a sport and social pastime.
