Two Aymara Indigenous women swing their golf clubs at the exclusive La Paz Golf Club.Instead of golf sports attire, the women wore the classic, multilayered Andean skirt, called the pollera, and bowler hats. The women, known locally as 'Cholitas', are part of a tournament for workers of the Club. Golf, which doesn't have roots in Bolivia, is generally considered a sport for wealthy people. But for the past 37 years, Martha Mamani and Teresa Zárate, who work in the golf course maintenance department, have been drawn to the sport.
