1927 Rare photograph of the greatest men and women golfers as they joined together for an exhibition match in which Walter Hagen and Gene Sarazen (representing the men) played with Glenna Collett and Maureen Orcutt (representing the women). The men won the match, but the event legitimized the ladies game before other sports would even begin to think of such an idea. A cool piece of sports history, this was issued by the Central Press and stamped on the back. The photo has a crease at the center from editorial use, along with some pinholes, but the image quality is outstanding.
