BABE DIDRIKSON’S RARE BOOK: “CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF”.
ZAHARIAS, MILDRED DIDRIKSON, known as "Babe" Didrikson (1914-1956). (See above biographical information). Her rare book: “Championship Golf”, 8vo, 125 pp., A.S. Barnes & Co., Pubs., 1st ed., 1948, d.j. (chipped) inscribed and signed in pencil “Best Wishes to Florence/ “Babe” Didrikson Zaharias” on first free blank end paper with a huge, bold 5.5” signature. The Babe played golf for the first time in 1932 when she was a member of the U.S. Track & Field Team in the Olympic Games as Los Angeles. A group of sports writers including Grandland Rice, Westbrook Pegler, Paul Gallico, and Braven Dyer suggested that she try a round and arranged a game for her at Brentwood. She used an overweight set of clubs belonging to Olin Dutra, the then PGA Champion. She later stated “ I gripped the club about the same way a baseball player takes hold of a bat until Granny Rice showed me the golf grip. Then I hit a good, whistling tee shot down the middle to the amazement of my personal gallery -- and that was it. I was stung by the Golf bug... The Babe was the first person to hold Championship Cups for both the U.S. and Great Britain. The book is profusely illustrated. She models grips, stances, various irons and shots. In short, a
succinct plainly written illustrated guide to golf by the all time women’s champion whose wins remain unequaled. Due to her early death, the material of Babe Didrikson is rare in all forms -- particularly signed books. A gem. Net to all. [12324]
