Winner of the USGA Herbert Warren Wind Book Award Finally a book that truly captures the inspiring and uniquely gifted women from a largely forgotten golfing age. A wonderful read from start to finish Iona Stephen, Sky Sports presenter, commentator and host From the moment women began hosting championships of their own in 1893, one of golfs burning questions became whether any woman would ever approach the mythical ideal of playing perfect golf. It took three decades of striving at a time when Suffragettes were stubbornly fighting for womens rights before Joyce Wethered and Glenna Collett delivered an unequivocal answer to that question. From their first meeting at Troon in 1925, through a decade highlighted by their breathtaking match at St Andrews, the Englishwoman and the American brought out in one another golf so sublime that rare was the player, man or woman, who could perform as brilliantly. The rivalry between Wethered and Collett generated such widespread interest and respect that it paved the way for the birth of a womens professional tour. Matchless tells the story of these two incomparable golfers women who personified the ambitions of their age.
