This Day in Golf--Nov. 17

While the LPGA Tour wraps up its season this week, a prominent woman golfer from long ago is the focus today and tomorrow. Joyce Wethered was born on this date in 1901. Still in the main discussion today as the greatest British female golfer of all time, Wethered won the English Ladies' championship five years in a row, 1920-1924, and won the British Ladies Amateur four times during the 1920s. Bobby Jones played exhibition golf with Wethered and proclaimed her one of the best he'd seen. Her career only lasted into her 30s; she married in 1937. In 1975 she was entered into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
