I've said this before, but maybe now is the right time for repetition.  I do not play golf.  My husband adores the game, but I've just never warmed to it.

I do, however love vintage golf clothing, especially those great golf frocks from the 1920s and early 30s. Golf wasn't like tennis where you had to have a special dress.  It was very similar to street wear, with some modifications thrown in to help the golfer swing her arms.

About two months ago I was asked by Kristen at Women's Golf Apparel to write an article on the history of wome's golf wear.  I love assignments like that one, as it made me take the time and do some close evaluating of vintage books and magazines and the images of women golfers in them.  See, I said it was a great gig!

Anyway, you can check out the finished product and read the very nice things Kirsten wrote about me!
