Women fled kitchen for golf
ON THE
GREENS
BY CAROLANNE DOIG
There was a time and not so long ago when
there were very few ladies to be seen out on
the golf course. My, how times have
changed! The boom in ladies' golf is
world-wide and its repercussions can be felt
alithe way to our little course. Today we have
nearly 70 women enjoying golf on a regular
basis and more and more ladies are taking up
the game each year. It estimated that in'
North America over 40 per cent of the rounds
of golf played each year are played by
women, and by the end of the '80's this figure
will be over 50 per ,cent!
Women are certainly not new to the sport.
Over 300 years ago Mary Queen of Scots
played golf regularly and made the game a
popular Scottish pastime that soon developed
Into an obsession. Golf became a male
dominated sport and remained so to this day,
with women 'competing as amateurs or
professionals in much smaller numbers.
There were great lady golfers• during this
time but unless one was already interested in
golf, women were not exposed to the game.
During the 1950's things began to change.
Women began to have more leisure time and
money to spend'. Many found the golf course
to be the perfect place to spend both. At this
time too, charismatic and glamorous golfers

like the great Babe Zaharias who won six
professional tour events in 1950 and was
voted greatest female athlete of the half
century in the U.S. Women like Babe made
the world sit up and notice Women golfers.
As the media began to cover more women's
golf events, the professionals also changed
their image. Many pros began to shape up
and devote some time to looking good as well
as playing well, When Nancy Lopez.tore the
tour apart as a good-looking young rookie, the
world of women's golf was ready for her.
Today golf fans can rattle off as many female
players names as men's.
The increased numbers of women golfers
have had significant impact on all areas of
golf. The media devotes more time and
coverage to ladies', events and golf -related
enterprises also have decided to take
advantage of the new market. Today ladies'
golf equipment is designed forwomen who
want to play well along with looking good.
Ladies' clubs are available for right and left
handers and recent innovations have resulted
in clubs that help to counteract the common
problems of most women's swings. Many •
equipment manufacturers have women on
their staff to act as consultants in design of
ladies' equipment. Then there's the fashion
market; manufacturers have gone wild trying •
to satisfy fashion -conscious women golfers.
These ladies want style, comfort, and
economy. Each year women are anxious to
purchase the latest in golf wear.
Women are not just consumers and users
in the golf industry. There are many women
on the other side of the eolf shop counter. It's

not unusual to find women in positions as
instructors, managers, and administrators of
golf associations. Female instructors are not
only popular with lady players but also wjth
male golfers. The trend towards women at
work in the golf -related industries is on the
upswing almost as much as the number of
• women actually playing the game,
• Canadian women, though.enjoying a much
shorter golf season than their American
friends have done well in both amateur and
professional circles. Our most famous ama-
teur is Marlene Streit who has her name in
every golf record book around the world. On
the pro tour Sandra Post, winner of sevi?ral
pro events and former Canadian Female
Athlete of the Year is our best known.
Today there are several young Canadian
women playing the tour including Ontario's
Cathy Sherk, Judy Ellis, and Barb Bunkow-
sky who recently captured her first L.P.G..A.
event. The DuMaurier Classic is at St.
George's Country Club just off Islington Ave.
'in Toronto, the last week of July if you're
interested in seeing the ladies play.
Locally our ladies will hold their Annual
Ladies' Invitation on Wednesday July 18
when about 70ladies will compete. The event
is the highlight of the season which has
already included clinics, films, interclub fun
nights, and an ongoing match play event. 1t
seems the ladies have finally fled the kitchens
and invaded the golf courses. .
Junior golfers invaded the course last
Tuesday as our Annual Junior Invitation -saw
a field of 61 tee it up. Rick Bender from
Thames Valley in London fired a 2 under par
70 to take the Junior boys title. Ray Bedard
won the Juvenile event with a 79. Ray is front
