Golf Club votes to keep women out!

So they have been dropped for any Major Golfing Championships!  Bet they didn't turn away female punters though!  :-\

No.  I mean, it's not as if they're all going to be sipping afternoon tee somewhere...... ;)

Shocking in this day & age. My mum was member at my dad's golf club many moons ago. I can remember sitting in the club house as a young child whilst my mum & her friends waited for their husbands to finish their round if golf.

Money rules.  Once they realise they are loosing money, they will change their minds.

Apparently the Members probably voted against because having The Open there means that they lose playing time so I can kind of understand it. They probably don't get a choice as to whether The Open is held there but I expect Members aren't allowed to play in case they spoil the greens etc..  So to Vote against Women Members was a means to an end  ::).

There are non-men golf clubs …….. I don't understand how Clubs can be sexist but there we go …… golf spoils a good walk anyway  :D [not that I can walk far currently  :-\ ]

Well, maybe all that's needed is for one club to strike out on its own - sort of, a hole in one and the rest will follow..............
