This black & white home movie shows a group of friends golfing at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco, CA. It was shot in the late 1920s or early 1930s by San Francisco residents Edward and Mary Burns, who added their own title cards. The Presidio Golf Club was first laid out in 1896, making it one of the oldest golf courses West of the Mississippi. While first created for military personnel, The Presidio became a joint club with both civilian and military membership in 1916 and built the elegant Tudor style clubhouse that still exists since 1924. The Presidio Course remained exclusive up until 1995, when it opened to the public. The course was originally designed by Robert Wood Johnstone and was expanded in 1910 by Johnstone in collaboration with William McEwan. It was then redesigned and lengthened by the British firm of Fowler & Simpson in 1921. The 18-hole course now plays 6,500 yards of challenging golf winding through beautiful Eucalyptus and Monterey Pine trees in San Francisco’s trademark hills.
