Timely Fashion Advisory:

Did you know that sweatpants were invented just around a decade after the Titanic sank?

Émile Camuset created them in the early 1920’s for his sports equipment company, the Le Coq Sportif. By the 1932 Olympic Games, sweatpants were everywhere!

Worn by icons like Eddie Tolan, legendary track and field sprinter and the first Black athlete to win two Olympic gold medals:

And the unstoppable Babe Didrikson Zaharias, a sporting polymath who excelled at track and field events, basketball, baseball and golf. She also took home two gold medals in 1932.

Sweatpants’ popularity exploded during the 1960’s fitness boom, and they’ve lived rent free in our closets and hearts ever since.

A hundred years after their invention, let’s celebrate our humble sweatpants!

Iconic. Comfortable. Highlighting assets while covering a multitude of sins.

V/r,

Agent Kay

Who was the first woman to play in an all-male Professional Golfers Association (PGA) tour?

In 1938, Mildred Didrikson Zaharias, also known as Babe Zaharias, became the first woman to compete in a PGA Tour event. Zaharias (1911-1956) was an American athlete from Texas who had great success in track and field, golf, baseball and basketball. She won two gold Olympic medals and one silver medal in 1932 in track and field events before turning to professional golf.

Around 1935, Zacharias began to play golf, and became the first woman to compete in the Los Angeles Open, a PGA (Professional Golfers' Association) tournament. No other woman competed against men in this tournament for another six decades.

Zacharias became America's first female golf celebrity and a leading player of the 1940s and early 1950s. By 1945, she had participated in three more PGA Tour events. In 1948, she became the first woman to attempt to qualify for the U.S. Open, but her application was rejected due to her gender.

Zaharias passed away from cancer in 1956. The following year, she posthumously received the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. The Babe Didrikson Zaharias Museum in Texas honours the golfer's life and she also has a golf course named after her in Florida.

Hispanic Athlete’s Pillars of the community

With out a doubt sports are an important part of the representation Latinx communities have all around the world. but the history of sports was the exact opposite. Many of these sports groups sought to uphold notions of whiteness by excluding black and Latinos from playing The Routledge reading states, “ It is only through the efforts of athletes such as Jim Thorpe, Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, among others, that barriers of entrance into sports are overcome. On the other hand, institutionalized and systemic racism, sexism, and classism are never completely eradicated with the advent of a singular, pathbreaking player.” (Routledge, 333) In this reading we see how black athletes paved the way in America for other people of color to represent their culture and compete against white individuals on a fair playing field.

A Look Again at 2023 in Golf: A 12 months of Drama

Golf is a sport the place sure years stand out above others, and 2023 might show to be a kind of years. It’s a heady listing. In 1860, Willie Park Sr. received the primary British Open, which was held at Prestwick Golf Membership, marking the debut of the oldest main event. In 1913, the newbie Francis Ouimet received the U.S. Open, beating the 2 greatest English golfers of the time, and popularizing the game in the US. In 1930, Bobby Jones accomplished the primary and solely Grand Slam, profitable the 4 majors of his day in a single 12 months. Babe Didrikson Zaharias grew to become the primary girl to make a reduce on the PGA Tour in 1945, competing within the Phoenix Open and Tucson Open. She went on to dominate that decade of golf. In 1950 the L.P.G.A. was fashioned. In 1968, a bunch {of professional} golfers, led by Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, broke away from the Skilled Golf Affiliation of America to create the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods accomplished the Tiger Slam — profitable all 4 males’s main championships consecutively over two seasons, from 2000-1. This 12 months may show pivotal for the boys’s and girls’s sport, with each of the highest excursions mergers. For the PGA Tour, June 6 signifies a earlier than and after in skilled golf. That morning Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, introduced a “framework settlement” for the PGA Tour to work with LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed golf league that he had spent a lot of the earlier 12 months disparaging. “I'd ask any participant that has left or any participant that might ever think about leaving: Have you ever ever needed to apologize for being a member of the PGA Tour?” Monahan had said a year earlier. It was one in a sequence of feedback he and officers made connecting LIV, which is funded by Saudi Arabia’s Public Funding Fund (P.I.F.), with the nation’s historical past of human rights abuses. However that day in June, in an about-face, there was Monahan sitting subsequent to the fund’s governor, Yasir al-Rumayyan, calling for cooperation. “There are solely a handful of people that weren’t shocked given the previous two years,” mentioned Kevin Hopkins, vp at Excel Sports activities Administration. “Not figuring out what that is going to result in goes to be the subsequent headline.” As stunning as this announcement was for golf followers, it was additionally a shock to the PGA Tour’s membership, which was largely caught off guard. The 12 months within the girls’s sport was extra optimistic — thrilling main championships, the debut of a promising younger star, a hotly contested Solheim Cup that ended in a draw between the 2 groups — however the girls’s tour additionally has a cloud of uncertainty hanging over it. After the L.P.G.A. and its equal throughout the Atlantic, the Girls European Tour (L.E.T.), reached an settlement to merge, the L.E.T. vote to approve the merger was abruptly postponed. Right here’s a glance again at a curler coaster 12 months.

Behind the scenes

The PGA Tour-LIV announcement looms giant for the sheer suddenness of the tour’s reversal and the best way that it angered and alienated a few of its prime gamers, together with Rory McIlroy, who had been one in all Monahan’s staunchest allies. He has since resigned from the PGA Tour board. “My response was shock, as I’m certain quite a lot of the gamers have been taken again by it, by what occurred,” Woods mentioned final month at his Hero World Problem. “So shortly with none enter or any details about it, it was simply thrown on the market.” The transfer galvanized prime gamers to push for management on the tour’s board. Woods, who now sits on the board, mentioned gamers needed to make sure that, going ahead, “we weren't going to be unnoticed of the method like we have been.” For his half, Monahan has expressed remorse with how the announcement was made. “The rollout was a failure on my half,” he mentioned at The New York Instances DealBook Summit final month. “I’ve owned it, and I’ve continued to personal it.” On the opposite facet, LIV Golf was given a lift, if not a lifeline. The league had been rolled out haphazardly. Its first tournaments in 2022 had been marred by issues, corresponding to the shortage of a tv deal and workforce uniforms. The P.I.F. put a whole bunch of hundreds of thousands of {dollars} behind the brand new league, however after the preliminary wave of star defections to LIV — Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and the then-reigning British Open champion, Cameron Smith — consideration shifted to poor attendance at occasions and a scarcity of a serious media companion to broadcast the occasions. The June 6 announcement gave the fledging league relevance. “We went from being solid unfairly as outsiders in golf to our chairman sitting shoulder to shoulder with the commissioner of the PGA Tour,” mentioned Gary Davidson, LIV Golf’s interim chief working officer in 2023. “We at all times knew that LIV may coexist.” With the L.P.G.A. and L.E.T., their merger talks had been going easily. The 2 excursions have been operating in a joint venture since 2020, a interval when prize cash rose on each excursions. This 12 months the 2 boards negotiated phrases for a merger, with the L.P.G.A. successfully taking on the L.E.T. Whether or not it occurs will depend on a vote by the L.E.T. gamers. “The vote has been postponed by the L.E.T. board from its unique Nov. 21 date as extra time was wanted to guage all related info obtained,” mentioned Mollie Marcoux Samaan, the L.P.G.A. commissioner. “A brand new date for the vote has not but been set. The L.P.G.A. board stays enthusiastic concerning the alternative to deliver our two organizations collectively.”

Within the highlight

Each the ladies’s sport and males’s sport additionally offered compelling story traces on the course. The primary males’s main, the Masters Match, got here all the way down to a duel between Jon Rahm, a stalwart of the PGA Tour, and Koepka, a a number of main champion who had left for LIV. Rahm prevailed, however within the subsequent main, the PGA Championship, Koepka pulled away from the sector to win his fifth main. LIV noticed this as validation. “Competing within the Masters after which profitable the PGA Championship was large for us,” Davidson mentioned. “It proved the competitiveness of LIV, that it may put together the fellows properly for majors.”(On Thursday, LIV introduced that Rahm would join its tour subsequent 12 months.) The 5 girls’s main championships additionally offered pleasure. Lilia Vu received the primary and final of the majors, to rise to the No. 1 rating and declare the participant of the 12 months title. Céline Boutier grew to become the primary French participant to win her dwelling nation’s Amundi Evian Championship. And Allisen Corpuz, a younger American in her second 12 months on the tour, received the U.S. Girls’s Open. The L.P.G.A. additionally acquired a feel-good story with Rose Zhang, who had lengthy been the No. 1-ranked newbie girl on the planet. Zhang turned professional in June and won the first event she entered. “It’s been a whirlwind for her, however she’s completed what folks have anticipated her to do,” mentioned Hopkins, who runs Excel Sports activities Administration’s L.P.G.A. observe. “The L.P.G.A. is worked up to have her as one of many stars.” Staff competitors was intense on each the boys’s and the ladies’s sides, however in several methods: The Solheim Cup was shut and thrilling, whereas the boys’s equal, the Ryder Cup, was a rout. Staff Europe blew out the U.S. workforce, which succeeded solely in preserving its 30-year shedding streak in Europe. There's one wrinkle for future European groups, and that’s the partnership the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour have struck. The PGA Tour has successfully made DP World a feeder tour, granting membership to the highest 10 gamers on its annual Race to Dubai rankings. This successfully culls the most effective gamers in Europe. With simply weeks left within the 12 months, there’s nonetheless the opportunity of extra drama. Whereas all eyes are on whether or not the PGA Tour-LIV framework settlement will get signed by 12 months finish, questions stay whether or not the L.P.G.A. and L.E.T. merger will undergo too. It’s a becoming finish to a tumultuous 12 months. Read the full article

The Florida Historic Golf Trail

THE FLORIDA HISTORIC GOLF TRAIL:  A HANGOUT FOR GOLF’S LEGENDS Many of today’s stars from the PGA Tour, Champions Tour, and LPGA tend to prefer playing and practicing at golf courses such as Doral, Bay Hill, The Medalist, TPC Sawgrass, Tiburon, Heathrow, and The Bear’s Club, but that’s not always been the case.  Back in the day, when golf’s household names were Gene Sarazen, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, ‘Long’ Jim Barnes, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Jimmy Demaret, and Byron Nelson, the stars of yesteryear chose to play and practice on many of Florida’s first golf courses, many of which are now part of the Florida Historic Golf Trail.  Many of these golf courses were also designed by many of the game’s great golf course architects -- Donald Ross, Bertie Way, Tom Bendelow, Wayne Stiles, John van Cleek, William Langford, and Theodore Moreau.  The game’s great players followed the lead of the game’s great architects, which brought everybody to Florida. When you visit many of these 53 Florida Historic Golf Trail courses, which are as far south as the Key West Golf Club and as far west as the Pensacola Golf Club, you’ll quickly discover that many of the game’s early legends spent a great deal of time, especially during the winter, playing exhibitions, challenge matches, and tournaments on these municipal layouts.  When you play these Florida Historic Golf Trail courses, you will follow in the footsteps of the game’s early superstars – players and architects. Listed below are a series of events in the early days of Florida golf that can best be described as star-studded moments: In 1925, the Florida Open was held at the Temple Terrace Golf and Country Club, a course designed by Bendelow.  The event was labeled the “Greatest Field of Golfers Ever to Play in Florida.”  Leo Diegel won the tournament.  The head pro/host of the event at Temple Terrace was Barnes, winner of the 1916 and 1919 PGA, 1921 U.S. Open, and 1925 British Open. The Miami Springs Golf and Country Club -- designed by Langford and Moreau and known initially as the Miami-Hialeah Golf Course -- was the host of the Miami Open from 1925-1955.  Many of the great legends of golf – Sarazen, Hogan, Nelson, Demaret, Snead, Nelson, and Arnold Palmer – played in the Miami Open.  Snead won it six times.  The Miami Open was the site of Palmer’s professional debut. The Fort Myers Country Club, designed by Ross and opened in 1917, has attracted several significant championship golfers such as Hagen, Sarazen, Palmer, Jock Hutchison, Horton Smith, and ‘Babe’ Didrikson Zaharias, the winner of 10 LPGA major championships. The Resort Course at the Boca Raton Resort & Club has had two of golf’s greatest champions serve as golf professionals:  Scotland’s Tommy Armour from 1926 to 1955 and Snead from 1956 to 1969.  By the way, one of Armour’s pupils was Zaharias. The Delray Beach Golf Club, designed by Ross, was the ‘home away from home for LPGA superstar Betty Jameson, the 1947 U.S. Women’s Open champion. The Miami Shores Country Club has hosted many Florida State Open golf tournaments. It has welcomed many Hall of Fame golfers such as Snead, Palmer, and Lee Trevino, the great entertainer Bob Hope and the late baseball Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio. The Riviera Country Club hosts the longest-running mini-tour event in the nation.  It’s The Riviera Open, which began in 1960.  Some of the winners of this annual 36-hole event, held each December, including former PGA Tour regulars J.C. Goosie, Jim Dent, Morris Hatalsky, and Slugger White, a retired, longtime PGA Tour rules official.  Other past and present PGA Tour players who have played in the event include Larry Ziegler and Matt Every, a two-time winner of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Orlando who played junior golf at Riviera.
