Women’s Golf – Participation & Belonging
A history of participation, competition, and community in women’s golf (1867-Present).
Women were already playing golf before formal institutions existed. Through clubs, competitions, and cooperation they built a participation system that shaped the game and sustained a community of belonging.
This project brings together the narrative of that history and the evidence that supports it.
This website accompanies the book Women’s Golf – Participation & Belonging. It brings together the narrative history of women’s golf with the archival material, records, and research that document its development.
The research and writing are by Julie Walker.
