Retro Golf Girls
I love these ladies, don't you?
It was a simpler time, or so it seems to us now.
I don't suppose there were a multitude of choices in golf apparel back then; you put on a cardigan or wind breaker, perhaps you donned a jaunty hat or a chic pair of cat eye sunglasses, and then you hit the course with your girl friends.
Well, maybe you enjoyed a cigarette first.
In any case, this charming photo has inspired me to get looking for my own vintage golf threads and accessories. I've already grabbed an awesome alpaca cardigan from the 60's. It's powder blue, a true retro color. Now I just have to find the capris to go with it. Preferably in plaid polyester.

Oh that reminds my of my Mom's foursome. They played together for two full summers in the early 60s, and they all smoked cigarettes. I remember because they would come to our house after their rounds and i was in charge of emptying the "butt buckets". It was a simpler time.
Oh yes, that brings back memories. Who would think of wearing a cardigan today? Now it's all high tec fabric and almost everything seems to be Nike or Addidas.
I would love to get a look at the shoes those gals are wearing.
