""Our Lady of the Green: A Book of Ladies' Golf"" is a book written by Issette Pearson and published in 1899. The book is a comprehensive guide to the game of golf, specifically tailored for women who were just starting to take up the sport. Pearson covers everything from the basics of golf etiquette to the proper techniques for driving, chipping, and putting. She also includes a section on the history of women's golf and profiles of some of the most famous female golfers of the time. Throughout the book, Pearson emphasizes the importance of physical fitness and mental focus in golf, and encourages women to take up the sport as a way to improve their health and well-being. She also addresses some of the common misconceptions about women's golf, such as the idea that it is a frivolous or un-ladylike pursuit. Overall, ""Our Lady of the Green"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of golf, women's sports, or the development of leisure activities in the late 19th century. It is a fascinating glimpse into a time when golf was still a relatively new and exclusive pastime, and women were just beginning to assert themselves as serious players on the course.Also Edited By M.
