⛳ 📽 "The Founders." The documentary of the 13 women who started the WPGA (now LPGA). A really interesting movie.

One of the ladies told the story of how she bought her putter: found balls and sold them. I was given my first set of clubs but spent a good two hours finding ball at the local Muni...good tore up with bug bites, but found A LOT of balls.

Good, educational flick.

I found this on Prime. You can find it on several places like Pluto, Roku, Tubi ...

Two words: Jan Stephson
Golf’s first female sex symbol in the mid 70’s. She made the cover of the old Sport Magazine.

While I was at Fort Benning we were living in the Housing on base. Cable TV was still basic. We would watch a lot of all type of sports. The LPGA was on and I always like Nancy Lopez.

This is covering the women before, and just after, WW2. Those ladies were "late" to the game; but did explode its popularity.

In my opinion, no one more than Stephenson.

The ANWA starts today...usually some really good golf to watch.

Yes, it is. It's about a week before its peak based on what I'm seeing around here this week.

On that note, the TV coverage gives you a view you don't see during The Masters weekend. You see how wide open the place is.

Yep, hilly and wide. Lots of opportunity to rescue bad shots, but greens are like glass. As you stated, really shows how manicured that WHOLE property is.
