Visit us on the web at: 2 of Amelia Earharts Personal Wilson/Macgregor Golf Clubs During the early 30's in California Babe was introduced to Amelia, they liked each others independent nature and immediately bonded and spent alot of time in each others company. Babe was introduced to golf by the likes of Sports Writer, Grantland Rice and his golfing buddies, Ring Lardner, Will Rogers, Westbrook Pegler and several others. She was a natural, "Granny" Rice wrote, "She was gifted with the most extraoadinary athletes body he had ever seen." During Babe's accelerated golf sessions, she offered to teach Amelia and in turn she would give Babe flying lessons. Many sporting goods companies were after Babe. Her biggest suitor was Goldsmith / MacGregor who supplied her with all kinds of equipment, even before she ever signed a contract. She gave Amelia some of her used clubs to start her off. Later on Babe met and played several exhibitions with Gene Sarazen who also gave her some "Wilson" Equipment. With some of these she updated Amelia's old set of Golfsmiths.
