That head-to-head competition spanned a decade, from their first meeting at Troon in 1925 through to Wethered's tour of the US in 1935. The key moment, and the dramatic focal point for this unique account, is their match at St Andrews in 1929 in the final of the Ladies Amateur Championship. It is widely considered to be the defining moment in women's golf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStephen Proctor delves deep into the story of that golden period and the colourful history of women's golf up to that point and beyond, charting the remarkable characters who graced the fairways and blazed a trail for today's superstars of the sport. Through the achievements and tribulations of Isette Pearson, Cecil Leitch, Alexa Stirling, and a cast of key protagonists, the reader is transported back to a pivotal time in the development of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47371310792940,"sku":"9781913759193","price":80.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/10260423482869.jpg?v=1773218837","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/matchless-by-stephen-proctor-9781913759193","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
