← Back to women’s golf1920s
Joyce Wethered
Wethered’s precision made her a four-time winner of the British Ladies Amateur. Bobby Jones famously praised her swing, but her own record needs no borrowed spotlight.
Wethered won the British Ladies Amateur in 1922, 1924, 1925 and 1929. Her control of the ball stood out even in an era rich with champions, and she remains a central figure in the history of British women's golf.
The attention from Jones is frequently repeated because it was a striking compliment, but four British titles are the stronger evidence of her standing.
