down on our performance.
There are many ladies'
tournaments in the area,
which give our female golfers
lots of opportunity to try their
hand on other courses and in
a competitive situation, The
date for the Seaforth Ladies'
Tournament bas been set for.
July 25,
Ladies' golf is increasing
in popularity and we're all
aware of those lovely ladies
who play the gamefor a
living on the Ladies Profes-
sional Golf Tour. Many of us
will never attain� that levelof
performance but as long as
we enjoy the game that's.
What keeps us going.
It is interesting to knew
something of the first women
BP w
to; grace the game of golf.
Qne of these great ladies,
Babe Zaharias, an American
athlete who wontwo gold
medals in the 1932 Olympics
at Los .Angeles before even,
taking tap golf which later
became her only sport.
Babe's success was due to
her strength and long hours.
of practise. In 1946 she won.
the U.S, amateur, the follow-
ing year going to Britain .and
becoming the first American,
to hold the winner's title. She
became professional andwon
the U.S. Open 3 tittles. She
had a strong sense of public-
ity and attracted great.
crowds. She had a strong;
influence on giving impetus
to the women's professional
circuit, which was just com-
ing into: being.
Today the women golfers
en tour share the spotlight,
just as much asthe men and
names like Nancy Lopez,
Carol Mann, Mickey Wright
and Sandra Posture familiar
to all those interested in the
game.
It's nice to know that
Canada has a good repre-
sentative on the ladies tour in
Sandra Post, Sandra has won
severaltournaments includ-
ing the Colgate -Dinah Shore
twice in a row. She is
consistently a high money
winner on the tour.
Another Canadian lady
who has been a household
name is Mrs. Marlene
Stewart Streit. She is noted
as Canada's preeminent
woman golfer of all time and
one of the great women
golfers of the. world. She is
small of stature and possess-

Twice she was Canada's.
Woman: Athlete of the Year.
She is In. Canadian Golf Hall
