Description

Marion Hollins was born into a world and a time when women "knew their place." It was a notion she rejected throughout her tradition-shattering career.David Outerbridge tells the tale of an extraordinary woman who is perhaps the sportswoman of the century. Yet, although she filled the newspapers and magazines of her day, her record of amazing accomplishments is not well known today.Marion Hollins was the United States Women's Amateur Golf Champion, won the Metropolitan Golf Championship three times, the Long Island Championship twice, and the Pebble Beach Championship an unequaled seven times. She was captain of the first U.S. Curtis Cup team and led it to a strategic upset victory over Joyce Wethered's British team. She helped Babe Didrickson and other champions with their nascent games.She was the greatest horsewoman of her generation, and the only woman rated with a man's handicap in polo.In California, she instituted the annual tournaments at Pebble Beach, and proceeded to set the course record there for women which remained unbroken for 16 years.She created the Cypress Point Club and organized its original membership. When the architects Seth Raynor and Alister MacKenzie advised her that its famous 16th hole was too long for a straight carry par 3, she said they were wrong, picked up a brassie, and sent a ball screaming across the ocean. Where it landed is the green, the most photographed hole in all of golf.She creates Pasatiempo, another golfing gem, and introduced the steeplechase to northern California there.She was friends with Mary Pickford, Walt Disney, Vanderbilts, Crockers, Amelia Earhart, Bobby Jones, and other famous personalities of the day.Marion Hollins is a personification of the great amateur, and a woman who was stopped by no obstacle or convention in achieving what she thought needed to be done. She was indeed a champion in a man's world.
