Well thats typical .... I slink off for a quick 18 holes this afternoon and 5 pages of been added .... how will I ever get round to disagreeing with all those postings.


Still, not to many high handicappers out there today

No Scotsmen wearing denim jeans

No one in the car park in their underpants

Not a woman to be seen

No juniors


Not held up by anyone

No one in white trousers (on or off)

No American millionairs

No need to wear a jumper - try that one in Scotland!

You will find, young lady, that there are Captains of the ladies section, but ineviatably, very few lady Captains of the golf club! Although that lovely Harriet Harman woman (dont we all love her?) did introduce equality legislation that will possibly change that situation soon

Young - you charmer you :)

TBH I had never drawn a distinction between the Mens and Ladies Captains and saw them both as the captain of their respective section within the club and, therefore, equal. I stand corrected...perhaps indicative of my newness to the golf world and all its traditions and the calibre of the 2 clubs I've been a member at. I rather think I'd like to stay naive judging by the 22 pages this subject has spawned !

You have been here too long to stay nieve Amanda. Most clubs have a Veterans Captain, a Junior Captain, a Ladies Captain but the Captain of the Club is almost inveriably The Mens Captain.


At the risk of more fanatical postings from the "how very dare they society" our club only voted a few years ago to allow photos of past Lady Captains to be displayed where the Captains (always men) photo's go back to when Leftie was a boy!

It was suggested that the Lady Captains collective photo's be displayed over the fireplace to keep the young children away from the fire.
