Joyce Wethered leads Glenna Collett Vare across the Swilcan Bridge during the championship match of the British Ladies Amateur in 1929. The two pre-World War II titans of women's golf are followed by a throng of fans.
The matchup of Wethered and Vare was perhaps the most anticipated match in the history of women's golf. Wethered dominated golf in Britain in the 1920s; Vare dominated golf in America in the 1920s.

Wethered had been retired from competition for three years when she heard Vare was coming to Scotland to play the 1929 British Ladies Amateur at St. Andrews. The chance to face Vare lured Wethered back into competition.

And Wethered beat Vare in that championship match, 3 and 1, for her fourth victory in the event. Neither of them is well-known today, although Vare is better known by virtue of having the LPGA scoring title named after her (the Vare Trophy). But one can make an argument (and some have) that Wethered is the greatest player in the history of women's golf. Bobby Jones said of her, "I have not played golf with anyone, man or woman, amateur or professional, who made me feel so utterly outclassed."
