Golf

 
Sydney and Vera played golf, and Vera seems to have been particularly talented at the game, having won a number of trophies.

This photograph, presumably taken by Sydney, shows Vera playing at Torquay with a group of Film-makers. The man putting is Willy Brun, a producer with whom Sydney worked.

Sydney and Vera were members of Greystoke Golf Club near their home at Brentham and there is a photo of the Inter-Club winners team of 1926 of which Sydney was a participant. Their sets of clubs in thier monogramed golfbags remained in the family for another two generations before being sold.
