Croquet
And the gentlemen in the background seem to be playing the Queen of Games: croquet.
Madames Millinery
When milliner was a profession.
Surface groomer thingy
Looks like the lad at the right is dragging a large flat surface groomer thingy (like what they use on baseball infields) around the putting area to smooth out the surface.
The heat
When ever I see these pics of Florida, I wonder how they could take the heat and humidity with all those clothes on.
[This would have been in winter, when people vacationed in Florida. - tterrace]
Putting
Must have been very tough to putt on compacted dirt, right? Simply awful.
Just viewing this image - I can sense the heat of day, especially dressed head to toe in wool.
Away from the farm
The couple in the forground appear to be a younger Ma (Phoebe) and Pa Kettle on holiday away from the farm. Yep, Marjorie Main giving it to Percy Kilbride for complaining about not being able to wear his bib overalls to breakfast.
Clock Golf
All sand trap, no green
My mother had clock golf set up in her back yard, as a child. Not as big, perhaps but it was all green.
