  Their Game is Golf
Some history of the Ladies Professional Golf Association is given at the start. Then we see what life is like for a female pro -- traveling, relaxing, packing for a tour, etc. Arnold Palmer says that "there is a place for women's professional golf." Various players tell how they supplement their income by associating with manufacturers and retailers such as Sears. The clothing and hairstyles are varied and interesting. The film features Sherry Wilder, Kathy Thayer, Jackie Pong, Gerta Boykin, Althea Gibson, Shirley Englehorn, and 1950s footage of Patty Berg and Babe Zaharias. Produced by Tel-Air Interests; sponsored by Sears-Roebuck.
(Early 1970's / 27:30; color; sound; V-90; DA023)
