Maureen Orcutt's Original Topical Of London 1930 Wire Photo - British Ladies Amateur Championship at Formby
The most important golf tournament for women in Great Britain, as it attracted the top players from Europe, North America, and the rest of the world. In the 1930's joined the U.S. Women's Amateur as the height of amateur competition. In 1930, the American star of the day, Glenna Collett would reach the final of match play for the second straight year only to fall 4&3. It would take until 1947, and Babe Zaharias before a competitor from the United States would claim the title. Offered here is American contestant, Maureen Orcutt's original near mint "Topical" Press Agency of London wire photo from the matches held at Formby Golf Club. This legendary club was founded in 1884 in Formby, Merseyside, England. After redesigns by Willie Park in 1912 and James Braid in 1922 it was used as the qualifying course for The Open Championship in 1924 before hosting the 1930 women's headline event. This item comes from the personal collection of Maureen Orcutt. 8 3/8" x 6 1/2".
