Here is Joyce Wethered's swing animation. I think the Stack and Tilt guys can claim her as an early proponent, backswing wise anyways.

In their round together at the Old Course at St. Andrews in August 1930 in which Bob Jones teamed with Miss. Wethered against Roger Wethered (Joyce's brother and a fine amateur in his own right) and Dale Bourne, then recently crowned English Champion, Jones remarked, "I have never played golf with anyone, man or women, amateur or professional, who made me feel so utterly outclassed. It was impossible to expect that Miss Wethered would never miss a shot-but she never did. I have no hesitancy in saying that, accounting for the unavoidable handicap of a women's lesser physical strength, she is the finest golfer I have ever seen."

I have many pictures of Joyce Wethered at Impact and they all have better aligments from a G.O.L.F. point of view. But if she is timing a flip with a Sweep Release, as presented in the pictures supplied by O.B. (Keeler), she is doing it better than anyone else ever did.

Jones and Wethered would reunite for a match at East Lake in August of 1935. Playing the 6600 yard course and playing on Bermuda greens for the first time, Wetherd posted a 74 despite two three putts. After battling illness for weeks before the match, Jones shot a level par 71.
