Ladies Golf Clubs Require Similar Engineering As MensBennington, Burton and Nancy Lopez are just a few of the names widely associated with ladies golf clubs and accessories available for them are also designed with the ladies in mind. However, when women were first entering the golf world typically the clubs were the same ones used by the men, with possibly shorter shafts but the difference in their stance and in their swing soon became apparent. Manufacturers saw their entry into the sport as a new outlet for their market and began working on designs that could be used by those with a possibly a less forceful swing. However, do not tell the ladies that golf is a men's sport as the Ladies Professional Golf Association, LPGA, has been around since 1950 and is the oldest women's professional sports organization in the country. The weekly tours may not receive the national attention as some other sports, but the quality of the game, thanks to their talent as well as the designs of ladies golf clubs, puts them on the same professional level as other sports. Famous Names Help Grow Ladies Golf Names like Nancy Lopez, Dottie Mochrie and Kathy Whitworth stand out as some of the champions from the early days of LPGA events. Through 1961, the big prize was the Vare Trophy; Babe Zaharias had the most wins in 1950 and 1951 and also led the money winners with around $15,000 both years. Nancy Lopez remains on the top 20-career money winners list despite being out of the circuit for about 20 years. Other than perhaps the style or color of the bag, looking inside it will be hard to tell the difference in ladies golf clubs and mens, as they carry the same clubs. Most golf rules pertaining to men also pertain to the ladies and they are responsible for knowing the rules as well as the size and weight limitation place on ladies golf clubs and the number they are allowed to have their bag during tournament play. |
