In The Women's Clubhouse,
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Women's Clubhouse: The Greatest Women Golfers in Their Own Words (Hardcover)
Information and Books on, or about, Great Women in Sport is diffcult to find. It was refreshing to have the opportunity to read a collection of essay's by great women golfers (founders and trailblazers) of the now LPGA. The history of Women in Golf is not so old that we aren't still in the midst of living it and most of the mentioned greats are still alive. As a now avid woman golfer, this book held my interest from essay to essay. Each golfer has a story to tell that shows the bumpy road, and their determination has gotten us to today. There has been a tremendous surge in the interest of golf by women in the last 10 years....thanks to the women in this book for blazing our trail...and thanks to Terri Leonard for consolidating their story.

Golf in a different light,
By A Customer
This review is from: In the Women's Clubhouse: The Greatest Women Golfers in Their Own Words (Hardcover)
When I first bought this book - I was not too sure what to expect, I mean how much can there be to say about the history of womens golf? But this book has been an absolute find. The essays from the early 1900's are enlightening and extremely entertaining. It is a book about people and feelings as opposed to all the technical 'stuff' us golfers get caught up in. It reconfirmed the reasons why I play golf, besides just trying to lower my handicap. I would recommend it to all those passionate about any sport - not just golf.
