Appendix J – Participation & Social Context
This appendix explores the broader conditions shaping women’s participation, including class, cost, access, time, transport, and social norms. It draws on club records, yearbooks, and contextual sources.
Its purpose is to situate women’s golf within lived experience and constraint. It shows how women adapted the system to fit their realities, reinforcing that participation was negotiated, not granted.
