Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Third Printing [stated]. 128 pages. Illustrated. Signed and dated by Bell on fep. Foreword by Patty Berg, Minor printing crease/seam on pages 11-15 noted. Several xerox sheets of golfing tips laid in at back. Margaret Anne "Peggy" Kirk Bell (October 28, 1921 - November 23, 2016) was an American professional golfer and golf instructor known for her strong advocacy of women's golf. Born in Findlay, Ohio, Peggy started playing golf at age 17. She took to the game immediately and quickly won a number of titles. She played college golf at Rollins College. She played the ladies amateur tour in the 1940s before the development of a professional tour, winning three Ohio Amateurs and the 1949 Titleholders Championship and North and South Women's Amateur. She was also a member of the 1950 U.S. Curtis Cup team. At that time she competed as Peggy Kirk, and in 1953 she married her high school sweetheart, Warren "Bullet" Bell, who had played professional basketball with the Fort Wayne Pistons before turning to business. In 1990, she was voted the Bob Jones Award, the highest honor given by the United States Golf Association in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. She became the first woman voted into the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame in 2002. Bell owned the Pines Needles Resort in Southern Pines, North Carolina. She died there in November 2016 at the age of 95. A good golfer who played in the Curtis Cup in 1950, she became a founder member of the LPGA and in true pioneering style flew herself all over the country, playing and promoting. She played fewer tournaments after she married and started a family but she had a degree in education and put it to good use. Peggy taught thousands of people over the years, many at the famous Golfaris she and her husband Bullet, who had played basketball professionally, established at Pine Needles Lodge and Country [now Golf] Club in Southern Pines, North Carolina, next door to Pinehurst. The dynamic couple and their family built Pine Needles into a venue fit for the US Women's Open and Annika Sorenstam won the first championship there in 1996; Karrie Webb won in 2001 and Cristie Kerr in 2007. LPGA Teacher of the Year; and the Golf Writers Association of America's William D. Richardson Award (for outstanding contributions to golf). From an appreciation posted after her death: Way back in 1966, Peggy wrote A Woman's Way To Better Golf with Jerry Claussen, foreword by the great Patty Berg, and it's still a sound, unflashy introduction to the game. The first chapter is called Anyone for Golf? and starts: "That has a nice ring to it! Just saying it makes me feel relaxed and wholesome. Now you try it. "Sort of makes you feel carefree, doesn't it? "Yes, golf is really a fun game. That is it can be fun if you play for enjoyment rather than take it to heart every time you miss a shot??Take my word for it, it's a lot of fun?no matter how well you play." Full of good, sound sense. Still worth a read. The reasons for playing golf haven't changed: "You're going to find that golf has the unique ingredients of fresh air, exercise and social contacts. As a woman, what more could you ask for?" Peggy tells the story of a friend who took up the game because she didn't want to be a golf widow. She explained: "When I started going out with my husband, I found out that he was a real golf nut. But, as it turned out, I loved him anyway and wanted to marry him. I knew that the only way I would ever see much of him would be if I took up golf. So now he waves to me on the course and I wave back. He knows where I am and I know where he is." There was nothing complicated about Peggy's teaching. She had the skilled teacher's way of distilling things down to the essence and making learning a pleasure not a chore. She made the seemingly unattainable - an effective golf swing - seem attainable. "Actually learning how to play golf is really very simple," she wrote. "If you can make a bed, clean your house or push a grocery cart in the supermarke. …
