This set is actually a game, and it is snap, there are four cards of each sport, and curiously for an English set one of those games is baseball. The others are Tennis, and Boxing.
There is a really fascinating article about this set written by "Pre War Cards" that also includes some very important information about this very card. Have a look, and do let us know what you think about that, especially if you are a golfing fan. I will pass on any info that we can combine.
Like most games of this kind there was an instruction leaflet, but dont worry if you have the set and no leaflet for it is reproduced in full at the Football Cartophilic Exchange / Drapkin
