Evelyn G. Glick, whose outstanding golf during the 1940s, ‘50s & ‘60s earned her the distinction of being known as the “Collector of Titles” and the master of the one-putt par. She was born in Leonardtown, MD but moved to Baltimore, where she taught city elementary schools for a decade.
Evelyn Glick of Woodholme Country Club was 30 when she picked up her first set of clubs in 1940. She went on to win the Maryland Women’s Amateur Championship eleven times, beginning in 1944 and again in 1946, 1947, 1948, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1954, 1957, 1958, and 1960, along with runner-up finishes in 1949, 1953, 1956, 1961, 1964, and 1967. Between 1946 and 1961, she was either the Champion or runner-up thirteen times and added to additional runner-up honors in 1964 and 1967. Mrs. Glick also won the Middle Atlantic Golf Association Women’s Amateur in 1947, 1952, and 1954.
Mrs. Glick’s golf accomplishments went well beyond Maryland. At the national level, she competed in fourteen United States Women’s Amateur Championships, several Women’s Open Championships, and won amateur and invitational titles in Cuba, New Jersey, Florida, Rhode Island, and Virginia. She played on the National and International Amateur Golf Tour before women’s professional golf was established and played in the inaugural Ladies Professional Golf Association match in 1948.
At her home club, Woodholme Country Club, she won her first club championship in 1941 and repeated the feat forty years later in 1981. Mrs. Maurice “Evelyn” G. Glick was elected to the Maryland Sports Hall of Fame in 1977 and the Middle Atlantic Golf Association Hall of Fame in 1992.
