Interesting development.

[JustOne]

Why would it be someone else's business then?

I'm not entirely sure if it would or not but assuming she doesn't want to play for England it wouldn't matter anyway.

I don't know all the rules but would assume at higher level your birth gender is more significant

OK, so you just mean in terms of the rules. I understand.

I think that's old news - certainly LPGA doesn't have an issue nowadays.

Actually I would be fine to play in ladies events organised by the English Golf Union, but golf clubs are private clubs and are still allowed their own rules.

And I am somewhere between the 2 Justone, drive about 180- 200 and a 6 iron for the 140yd par 3

 

[Shanks a lot!]

Best of luck Louise, hope everything goes ok for you!

 

[Heidi]

Fixed that for you......

No no - still just have the one - its the hairs that are a prob

Similar distances for me. So nothing unusual about how far u hit the ball!

That's about the same as JustOne's distances, so I guess that means he could play for a ladies team too! :rofl:

we'll have him if he wears a skort

 

[louise_a]

I, of course, only hit every other ball those distances, the other shots could go anywhere. Today I topped a 7 iron about 10 yds, then put an 8 iron in the middle of the green.

Join the club! Altho I have less rubbish shots now than i used to have. a 7 iron can go 130 yards...or 30 yards...

Yeah, back up what Heidi said; that'd put you above average at my club but not the longest and by no means out of the ordinary.

Is that like a skirt? .... and I will if communal showering is compulsory!

 

[louise_a]

Could you stand the ridicule, Justone.

Above average at our club but I hit it a bit further than that and no-one questions my gender - just my handicap

i have seen some phenomenal longest drives in opens - I'm nowhere near them
some of them are just petite ladies with very good technique
and some are just plain beasts!!!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Hope it all goes well at the members meeting to morrow and that your "discussion" before hand doesn't open too many cans of worms. As you know probably more than most there will no doubt be some that will go out of their way to be nasty and vindictive just because they see you differently and feel threatened. However I'm sure the vast majority will have no interest other than can you make the numbers up in comps, do you make a good flapjack and when are you free for a game

 

[Liverbirdie]

Good luck, hope all goes well.

One thing to consider, I think that the good ship GM forum has accepted you!!!

Ha ha - seen both types too and I'm 5'5" and a lightweight thank goodness!
