The women in the Golf Club were Eva Shorb, Dotty Miller, Delmar Tooker, Ruth Hazeltine, Jeanne Simmonds, Pat Kelley, Virginia Blair, Ruth Wyllie, Harriet McGillivry, Marcia Main, and Carol Tornebaum. One of the women in the golf club, Eva Shorb, was a top amateur golfer. She tried to play with the Wooster Men's Team, but was prohibited from competing with them. As a result, she left Wooster for Mount Union and played with their men's team. She eventually married and had a son, Tom Weiskoff, who went on to become a prominent professional golfer in the PGA. Shorb was in the W Association Hall of Fame. The administrative head at the time was Kathleen Lowrie.
