Edith Cummings Munson (March 26, 1899 – November 20, 1984), popularly known as The Fairway Flapper, was an American socialite and one of the premier amateur golfers during the Jazz Age.

[9] Cummings had a privileged upbringing and was regarded by the Chicago press as a member of the city's elite "Big Four" debutantes circa World War I.

[11] In 1915, while either at Westover School in Connecticut or at Lake Forest, Illinois,[3] Cummings met a young Princeton University student named F. Scott Fitzgerald.

Baker, à la Cummings, "wore all her dresses like sports clothes — there was a jauntiness about her movements as if she had first learned to walk upon golf courses on clean, crisp mornings.

"[7] In the novel, Baker is the love interest of the novel's narrator Nick Carraway, and she purportedly cheats at golf, but there is no evidence that Fitzgerald drew this particular detail from Cummings.

The next year, Cummings entered the U.S. Women's Amateur, where she was in match play against Glenna Collett, then an 18-year-old from Rhode Island, who became known as one of the great female golfers of the 1920s.

She won the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1923,[14][4] earning her the cover photo on Time as well as profiles in Vogue, Ladies' Home Journal, and many newspapers.

[16][17] During their marriage, Curtis Munson served as a clandestine U.S. intelligence operative engaging in espionage activities against the Japanese Empire under the direction of Assistant Secretary of State Adolph Berle.

In his honor, she made a significant contribution to the Decatur House renovation in Washington, D.C. Today, the Curtis and Edith Munson Foundation funds a number of conservation programs.
