Speaking about collegiate women's golf...

Way back when, I was a college classmate with Marlene Stewart - a very polite and talented Canadian golfer tucked away in Winter Park, Florida where the weather  was dramatically better than Cereal, Alberta, Canada.

Marlene was a quiet , efficient destroyer on the golf course. Women's collegiate golf was active but hardly as prominent as it is today but there were some strong players. Marlene won everything in sight - - - and continued after college.

1953 - winner of British Ladies Amateur (Marlene was 19)

She won 11 Canadian Ladies Amateurs.

1956 - winner of U. S. Women's Amateur

1963 - winner of Australian Women's Amateur

When she was 69 she won her third U. S. Women's Senior Amateur

2004 - Inducted into the World Golf Hall ol Fame, the first Canadian so honored.

Marlene was/is five-feet tall and back then probably weighed 115 pounds carrying two bags of practice balls.

Recently, the book,  "A Disorderly Compendium of Golf"

(ISBN-13: 978-0-7611-4084-9) had a one-page article on Marlene carrying the above data.
