Correction
Last week’s story about Alameda Women’s Golf Club historian Bobbie Hoepner contained an error. The club is in fact the oldest public women’s golf club west of the Mississippi River. Apparently there were private women’s golf clubs that predate it. Hoepner herself provided the correction, not the error.
