Question
She is considered the first woman golfer. In 1567 while playing golf she learned of her husbands death and continued playing. Who was she?

Answer
Dear Kyle, thanks for the question and apologies for the delay...from time to time when I answer a brand new question, the system will tell me I have a pending question...though I've never seen this one until today.  In any event, I believe who you are referring to is Mary, Queen of Scots.  We know she was an avid golfer, but the story about playing golf when she heard of her husband's death is a difficult one to verify - it may be true, but there's no hard evidence.  Hope that helps.  Good luck and remember...

Love the game,
Skipper
