Warmer climates beckon and now we find our lady of fashion on the Miami Golf Course (after a brief stay at Pinehurst, N.C. where she won a trophy). She is wearing a two-piece suit, skirt and jacket and if you notice the jacket buttons down the front and has short sleeves that give plenty of elbow room for that stance and swing.
