Despite the thirst for more information about women's golf, very little exists about its history outside of books about the legendary Babe Didrikson Zaharias. Hudson fills this void, offering a complete history of women in golf. He focuses on the fascinating development of women's golf, the creation of the women's tour, star athletes of the past, the astronomical rise of the present-day tour greats, and the future of the sport. Golf may well have replaced baseball as America's pastime, and the sport enjoys incredible popularity across the globe. At the professional level, women's golf continues to escalate in popularity and media attention, particularly with the dominance of LPGA champion Annika Sorenstam and the interest surrounding teenage phenom Michelle Wie. Despite the thirst for more information about women's golf, very little exists about its history outside of books about the legendary Babe Didrikson Zaharias. Hudson's new book fills this void, focusing on the fascinating development of women's golf, the creation of the women's tour, star athletes of the past, and the astronomical rise of the present-day tour greats. In addition, Hudson examines women's golf in the context of the country's history of discrimination against women. Women's golf grew in popularity after the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting the right of suffrage. Unfortunately, gender discrimination remains a reality in the world of golf in certain locales of country club golf. Nonetheless, women's golf has never been more popular. For example, the Futures Tour, where girls and young women hone their skills on the way to the LPGA, has grown to more than 300 players from 27 countries, making it the largest international developmental tour in the world. And the 2006 LPGA Tour featured 34 events with prize money nearing $50 million, the highest ever in LPGA history. In 1890, Hudson writes, the Washington Post reported that some girls are anxious to learn golf, because they are really fond of sport and exercise; others, because it gives them a chance to show off a natty suit. Those girls are now acknowledged as women—and this book shows how very far they, and their sport, have come.

More Pars Power Edition, from the best selling golf author of the Golf Survival Guide series, is dedicated to helping you get more distance and accuracy off the tee and from the fairway. Hitting the ball farther means more greens in regulation and more parsl Through this guided how-to book, you'll learn the whys, whats and hows. So, let's get to it! CHRISTINA RICCI IS LPGA CLASS A, TPI GOLF LEVEL 3, TPI POWER LEVEL 2 and TPI FITNESS LEVEL 2 CERTIFIED, CROSSFIT LEVEL 2 AND A BEST-SELLING GOLF AUTHOR. Christina took up the game in 2000 and dropped to a 5 handicap in five short years. She published her first book, A Girls On-Course Survival Guide to Golf in 2008 and never looked back. She has authored five books and 20 pocket guides, sells branded golf accessories, hosts national golf camps, and teaches locally at the beautiful Atkinson Resort & Country Club located in Atkinson New Hampshire, 45 minutes north of Boston. Shes been featured on the cover of GolfTips magazine and her popular golf tips are featured on the Golf Channel, her YouTube Channel (youtube.com/c/morepars), and online portals such as WomensGolf.com, Golfforher.com and LPGA Womens Network. This guide is your go-to for understanding, measuring and training for more distance off the tee and from the fairway. It is divided into three core sections: POWER BODY; POWER TECHNIQUE; POWER EQUIPMENT. Within each section youll first learn the whys. It is important to understand the general principles and concepts before applying them to your game. Knowledge is power. It is my opinion that golf handicaps have not changed because of this. Students do as their instructors ask or watch YouTube videos. But oftentimes, they do not truly understand the core principles of the golf swing in relation to their body, equipment and technique. In addition, I see far too many players misdiagnosing themselves, which sends them down the wrong path. Instead, lets truly educate you on the essentials of ball striking so you can see real change in your game. Youll measure your current body, equipment and technique, so you have an accurate starting point. From there, youll apply your knowledge with training. This Guide is not a replacement for your instructor. I highly recommend working with a coach or training through the MorePars.com platform. The best players in the world have swing, fitness and/or medical coaches. As recreational players, you too can train like the pros and experience significant gains off the tee and from the fairway. Are you ready for more pars and more power? Lets get to it!

Starting with Lady Margaret Scott, who was to win the first three of the Ladies' Golf Union's British Women's Championships, this book introduces the great figures of the women's game - characters such as Joyce Wethered, who won five successive English championships, and her opposite number in America, Glenna Collett Vare. These two were possibly the best women golfers of all time, but fate decreed that their careers should coincide - a circumstance which led to the famous British Women's final of 1929. Babe Zaharias, who won two gold medals in the 1932 Olympics before turning to golf, is another who has her niche in the sport's history, and in the pages of this book.
