This newspaper "begs" to be framed and displayed in the present-day NASSAU COUNTRY CLUB !! The U.S. Women's Amateur is the leading golf tournament in the United States for female amateur golfers. It is played annually and is one of the 13 United States national golf championships organized by the United States Golf Association (USGA). Female amateurs from all nations are eligible to compete and there are no age restrictions. It was established in 1895, one month after the men's U.S. Amateur and U.S. Open. It is the third oldest USGA championship, over a half century older than the U.S. Women's Open, which was first played in 1946. Katherine Harley was an American golfer in the early 1900s. Her claim to fame is two victories, separated by six years, in the biggest golf tournament available to American women of her era: the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship. She was also known as: Katharine (spelled with an "a" in the middle) Harley, Kate C. Harley. After marriage, Katherine Jackson or Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson. Katherine Harley won the U.S. Women's Amateur twice, first in 1908 and second in 1914. In the 1908 U.S. Women's Amateur, she dethroned the defending champion, Margaret Curtis (one of the namesakes of the Curtis Cup), beating Curtis 4-and-2 in the second round. In the championship match, Harley defeated Mrs. T.H. Polhemus, 6-and-5. In the 1914 U.S. Women's Amateur, Harley was listed in the entries at Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson, one year after her marriage. In the first round she beat Harriot Curtis (Margaret's sister and co-Curtis Cup namesake). Harley won the championship match, 1-up, over Elaine Rosenthal. Harley reached the semifinals in the U.S. Women's Amateur three other times, in 1903, 1904, and, at age 41, in 1922. In 1904, her vanquisher was the eventual champ, Georgianna Bishop. She also reached the quarterfinals in 1911. The 1909 Spalding's Official Golf Guide noted that Katherine Harley was "a generally straight driver, and with her irons is the equal of any woman golf in the country," but that "putting seemed to be her weakness" when she came up short in matches or tournaments. In 1913, five years after winning her first U.S. Women's Amateur title, Harley married H. Arnold Jackson, a well-to-do businessman. Jackson eventually became board chairman of the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company. At that time, it was common for women golfers to give up playing tournaments after marrying, but Harley kept playing. When she won her second USWA title in 1914, she became the first woman to win that title both before and after getting married. Her other tournament victories included the Women's Eastern Amateur in 1914, the 1917 Women's Golf Association of Boston Championship, and the 1921 Women's Metropolitan Golf Association Championship. In 1953, Harley, then living in the golf mecca of Pinehurst, North Carolina, donated her gold medals from those wins plus her USWA wins (along with the bronze medals from her three USWA semifinal appearances) to the USGA Museum. She was 79 years old when she died in 1961. Founded by leading industrialists, the Nassau Country Club (Long Island, NY) was established in 1896 as perhaps the finest golf course of that era. Originally designed by committee members, the world's leading architects participated in the course's design. The course has been revised several times over the past 118 years. Very good condition.
