The Huron Expositor, 1987-05-06, Page 9V.omen are making mark on Sunday is Mother's Day and it's the GREENS T� r r perfect time to focus on "Women in Golf". ON THE VI i4d..lj El\ S The days of,the ,golf widow are long gone. ' �` After 400 years the interest in golf that was sparked by Mary Queen of Scotshas developed into a roaring fire. Everywhere golf courses and related industries are feel- ing the impact of women golfers. ' , Women have golfed for hundreds of years, ever since the good Scottish Queen hacked her way around the grounds of Edinburgh castle. In 1893 the Ladies' Golf Union of Great Britain was formed while on this side of the Atlantic -the -first -U.S. -ladies' championship', MICiirolanne Doig OIC courses was held in 1895. . . Yes, there were women out there on the courses, but they were few and far between, and considered to be a little "different". Golf was a man's game. Nearly a century later golf courses are feeling the impact of the feminine factor. The boom began around 1960 when the ., economy was excellent and women were fin- ding themselves with more time and money on their hands, than ever before. . ; Modern appliances cut housework time in half while husbands brought in good wages. Working women made enough money to en- joy time off at local clubs. Golf was "in" for -women. • Golfprovided a clf4uice to be outdoors and enjoy exercise, a'chailenge and social outlet all at the same time. Soon courses, and apparel and equipment manufacturers were recognizing the poten- tial market for women.golfers. Clothing was. designed with quality, style, flare and func- tion in mind. The women lapped it up. Golf has always been a fashion parade, even for men, so the ladies golf boom was a bonus for clothing companies. Equipment has come a long .way too. At first the manufactuers concerned themselves with cosmetic changes. Balls, clubs, headcovers and gags came out in pastel shades to attract the women, but the design was not always consistent with the market. Advances in technology as well as more study on women's swings and .physical strengths or weaknesses has resulted in the developmentof equipment bettersuited to the female golfer. Shorter, more flexible shafts with norrowers grips are one noticeable difference between men's and women's clubs,. • • ' Women are out in force on many courses. Contrary to popular deblief, most women play just as quickly as men, even though they may take more shots. There is really no reason a woman can't play good golfTWornen lack=much of -the strengthof their• male counterparts, but. with good technique and plenty of practice, what has been lost in distance can be gained in accuracy especially in chipping and putting, One of the tope Women golfers in Bermuda rarely hits as far as the men she challenges, but she is "deadly" around the greens. Remember, drive for show and putt for dough. Women golfers are generally more supple • than men and therefore accomplish a fuller turn during the, swing. Although this can give more power and distance, it can also cause problems with control.

LONDON i-434.9161 J Women have an advantage when they begin golf because they don't' often presume that they, know what to do. Most women will take a few lessons or attend a couple of in- structional clinics n-structional.clinics before heading out on the, course. This is an excellent idea since it prevents bad habits from forming. The Ladies. Professional Golf Association (LPGA) has certainly' drawn attention • to ladies' golf as a professional, Nancy Lopez, Joanne Career, Sandra Post and Jan Stephenson have perked up interest in the game. More Canadians are -on the -LP -GA tour -- than ever before, including Barb Bunkowsky, Judy Ellis -Sams, Lisa Young. and Nancy White Brewer. Women are now working in golf circles as teaching 'pros, club managers and even green superintendents. Oh yes, there are still a few clubs where women are persona non grata; but in general terms the golf widow is dead. Join the ranks of such notables as Rose Kennedy, Ruby Keeler, Dinah Shore; Susan Hayward and more, who knew how much fun golf could be. We begin our ladies' golf season Monday night with nine holes of golf followed by a potluck supper. Rain or shine! The menget started Thursday, May 14.
