The History of Women's Golf in
the Philippines 
Golf came to the Philippines around a century
ago. At first there were just a handful of
private courses, available only to a lucky few. 
But as more and more courses were built  the
sport became available to almost everyone, yet it remained a male dominated sport.  Most lady golfers played for fun, and there were few serious lady amateur competitions.

Then a Filipina golfer captured our nations
attention as she competed against some of the
regions best lady golfers,  mostly Europeans
and Americans, Dominga Capati  was the lone
Filipina golfer in the field during the 1938
Philippine Women's Open Golf Championship.
She was a  laundrywoman who washed away
the field, finishing five strokes ahead of her
closest competitors.
