WASHINGTON, D.C. — I began playing golf in junior high. But I didn’t meet another female golfer until I was playing at Harvard in Division I Intercollegiate golf in the early 1990s.
Blessed with a father who wasn’t embarrassed to take his daughter out on the course, I was introduced to the sport when most players were men. Though more than 20 years had passed since Congress passed Title IX, women were still nearly invisible on golf courses when I was growing up.
