Preserving the Story of The Green’s Ladies
Founded in 1954, The Green’s Ladies Golf Club has long been more than a golf organization. We are a community built on friendship, resilience, mentorship, and a shared love of the game.
Through this grant, Angella, Lia, and Lisa will conduct in-depth research using the collections of the USGA Golf Museum and Library. Their work will uncover historical records, photographs, documents, and stories that help illuminate our club’s impact both on and off the course.
This research will contribute to a short documentary in partnership with the Precious Places Community History Project, ensuring that the Green’s Ladies legacy is preserved for future generations.
As Angella Moore shared in the USGA feature, this recognition is “a tremendous honor and a testament that the story of the Green’s Ladies is an important one worth telling.”
We couldn’t agree more.
