Erick,
Just one thought... The Big Bam looks pretty lean for the 1930's. Perhaps it is earlier? I would agree that this appears to be shot in Miami, FL. I'm not sure if everyone knows what a good golfer Ruth really was. He won his club championship in NY multiple times, FWIW.

Yea now that you say it, he does. Maybe it is mid-late 20's?
I've read that he was a pretty accomplished golfer. I'm sure he could have been pro if he had done that instead his whole life. I know he was very passionate about the sport.

looking for Ruth golf images online I saw this one with a 1925 date. Not sure if that date is totally accurate but my Ruth photo appears to depict a slimmer Ruth than that. I'm really not sure when to date it....

The back stamping dates to the 1925-1930 period, according to what's presented in Yee/Fogel's book.

Thanks for that info. Would that make this a Type 1?
I also found this other image after doing more Ruth Golf image searching: It appears to be possibly same day, definitely same place. Caption on back according to this site says it's Jungle Country Club in St. Petersburg. http://www.corbisimages.com/stock-ph...h-playing-golf

"Possibly same day"...I agree.
The guy in the background of your photo looks like the same guy in the middle of the three in the background of the Corbis images photo you found in your images search. Possibly he was Ruth's caddie that day, he appears to be next to a golf bag in your photo, and carrying one in the other. Last edited by YankeeFan; 05-04-2014 at 06:15 PM.

Going thru some old information on a Ruth collection I researched, he did golf at St. Petersburg in 1928, but I believe that was one of his favorite spots. So researching the year may help. Sorry I don't have a copy of that photo.
