On March 17th 1951, Augusta Country Club was the scene of the inaugural ceremony for the Women's Golf Hall of Fame. The original inductees were Beatrix Hoyt, Margaret Curtis, Alexa Stirling Fraser, Dorothy Campbell Hurd, Glenna Collett Vare and Virginia Van Wie. Interestingly, Alexa Stirling grew up with Bobby Jones in Atlanta and had the distinction of actually beating him in his teenage years. Mind you, she was five years his senior.

TEASER: All strokes played by A at the 18th hole were observed by spectators, but when the card was returned, the recorded score for that hole was lower than that which the spectators alleged had been taken. What should the committee do?

ANSWER: If any doubt arises as to the correctness of a card, the committee should consult with the competitor and marker and also take into account the testimony of other witnesses. If the evidence indicates that the recorded score for the 18th hole was lower than actually taken, the committee should disqualify A (Rule 6-6d). Otherwise, no penalty should be applied.
