职业高尔夫球选手凯西．惠特沃兹 (Kathy
Whitworth) 出生
1939年9月27日
惠特沃兹一直到现在都还在球场上继续打球，不过她现在的焦点已经放在协助改善其他女性选手的球技。高尔夫球在1890年代中期，是专属于有特权的美国女性的运动。在那个时候，不同社会阶层的女性发现打高尔夫球是从事运动的机会之一。到了1920年代，当妇女取得投票权之后，她们开始举办业余巡回赛。在1940年代与1950年代间，许多伟大的女性高尔夫球选手，例如蓓比．迪得瑞克森．札哈利亚斯 (Babe
Didrikson Zaharias) 等人，都已经开始参加巡回赛，并且推广高尔夫球运动，让所有种族的妇女及各个阶层的人民都能够接触这项运动。现在，因为有凯丽．韦伯 (Karrie
Webb) 与老虎．伍兹等人的推动，高尔夫已经比以前更受到大家欢迎了。选一间俱乐部，试着挥杆吧！让开！前面当心！
And Whitworth is still on the course today, though her focus is on helping other women master the game that privileged American women first tried in the mid-1890s. Then, women of social status found the adventure and challenge of golf as an opportunity to engage in sport. In the 1920s, after women championed the suffrage movement and gained the right to vote, women began playing in amateur tournaments. In the 1940s and 1950s, golfing greats such as Babe Didrikson Zaharias started the LPGA tour and tried to make the sport more accessible to women of all races and social classes. With new super champions today such as Karrie Webb and Tiger Woods, golf is more popular than ever. Why not pick up a club and try a swing. Fore!
