Golf Course, Lincoln Park, Below Legion Of Honor, San Francisco, California
Image

A man hauled a cart of golf clubs along the grass leading to the next hole. Part of the golf course resembled a placid meadow surrounded by trees. A sign over the front entry identified this building as the "Lincoln Park Golf Club." Two caution signs were attached to a pole along side the path to the Legion Of Honor. Both warned of possible injury if one was to walk through the golf course. One man teed off, while the other man walked toward the next hole. A distant man walked through the golf course in the sunlight between two tall trees. A distant yellow flag marked the location of one of the Lincoln Park gold course holes. A hole or sand trap lay between trees in the distance.
