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. |
