Genevieve
Hecker : Golf for Women 1904 This is off significance to an Irish
Collector because of its contribution from Rhona Adair. The game of
golf presented to the "feminine inquiring mind and from a woman's
viewpoint." A first edition will fetch around
$1,000 at auction because it was the first golf book published in
America purely for women. Fortunately a reprint is available at much
more affordable price $22.95 from Legacy
Golf. |
