Phyllis Wade, the English Women's Golf Champion of 1934, is captured in this striking photograph taken in the year following her triumphant victory. Born on July 17, 1911, Wade made history when she became the first Englishwoman to win the Women's Amateur Championship, an accomplishment that solidified her place among the greats of women's golf. In this image, Wade is seen in her element, poised and focused as she prepares to take a swing with her driver. Her sleek, white golfing attire contrasts beautifully with the lush green fairway stretching out behind her. The beret perched atop her head adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to her look, making her a true sportswoman of her time. The year was 1935, and women's golf was beginning to gain popularity and recognition. Wade's success paved the way for future generations of female golfers, inspiring them to pursue their dreams and challenge the status quo.
