DOES THIS RELATE TO FORMER CBS-TV COMMENTATOR BEN WRIGHTS COMMENTS ABOUT WOMEN GOLFERS?

LA: Sure. Women’s golf was finally beginning to take off in the `90s, and we were gaining greater access to golf courses, more press and TV coverage, the tour was growing each year, etc. I thought the stereotype of women golfers (which I’d been hearing all my life) was finally dying off. But his widely publicized comments back in `95 seemed to revive this skewed view. I thought that Playboy’s concept of featuring “women in male-dominated sports” was an ideal subject for their beautiful glamour photography. It would show that women can excel in men’s sports and still be feminine.
