Biography

Mrs. Lapham was as dominant a force in her era as Texas has ever seen. In the 1916 Women’s Texas Golf Association championship, she not only earned medalist honors, she never needed more than 12 holes to win any of her matches. She continued her dominance for the next seven years – winning six championships and never losing a match (she did not participate in 1922). In all, she won seven State Amateur Titles between 1916 and 1928.

She was President of the Women's Texas Golf Association in 1919 and represented the WTGA in the State Amateur at Houston Country Club.

Edna capped her amateur career by winning the National Senior Women’s Championship in 1937 at Westchester Country Club.
