About Lucia Gueth

Lived 1890 – 1960 (aged 69–70). Lucia Gueth was an American golfer.

Lucia Gueth Mida (August 4, 1887 – April 1952), also known as Mrs. Lee Mida and Louise Mida, was a golfer from Chicago, Illinois. She won the 1930 Women's Western Open, which was later designated by the LPGA as the first women's major. Mida was an experienced competitor at that time.

Biography Mida was born Hedwig Louise E. Gueth in Chicago, Illinois, to German immigrants August Gueth and Clara Friederich. Lee was her husband's name; wives and widows often used their husband's name with a "Mrs." added on back in her era. Her husband was the Chicago City Champion in 1909; leading the way to her own golfing career.

In addition to the 1930 Women's Western Open, Mida also won the Women's Western Amateur in 1923 and the Florida Women's State Golf Association State Amateur Match Play Championship in 1929 and 1930 (defeating Mrs. John L. Holmes). Her unwillingness to become a permanent resident of Florida forced Mida not to defend her title in 1931 as the competition become "closed" except to Florida residents.
