New York: Simon and Schuster / Golf Digest, 1977. First Edition. First printing. Warmly inscribed on front endpaper: "To Joyce / In appreciation for being one of my very special friends - if you'd only stay home once in a while!," signed, undated but apparently contemporary with publication. Octavo; cloth hardcover, dustjacket, 158pp; illus. Fine copy in crisp, unclipped dustwrapper (priced $7.95 on front flap); trivially worn at edges, still very Near Fine.

The recipient is possibly Blalock's contemporary Joyce Kazmierski, a long-time LPGA tour professional who competed head-to-head with Blalock on many occasions. Blalock (b.1945) as the winner of 27 LPGA titles during a long and extremely successful career, and still holds the record for most consecutive cuts by any golfer (259).
