Babe Didrikson and Patty Berg WERE women’s golf in the early years. The along came Betsy Rawls and Joanne Gunderson. Later on Nancy Lopez and then Annika. Mickey Wright was better than any of them.

Kathy Whitworth is somewhere in there, with 88 wins and 6 majors, most in LPGA history.  And Louise Suggs (61 wins).  My personal favorite is Julie Inkster, just 31 wins with 7 major wins, but she was a junior on the Harbor high school golf team and I matched up against her.  She beat me by a stroke a hole, and let's just leave it at that...;)

Reminds me of playing racquetball at Stanford, where the three time high school national champion racquetball player (Elkova Icenogle) was on the club team.  After getting tired of thumping everyone, she started playing people left-handed, and got good enough that she beat most of us handily despite playing with her non-dominant hand.
