Not very many years ago I was a member of a work golf society who played at a course in the North West, following the golf we had a sit down meal in one of the function rooms - we had sole use of the function room for our society, there was a single female member of the society, who as we sat down was told the room we were in was a male only room and she would have to sit alone in a separate room, we pointed out the stupidly and sexist nature of what was being said (there were even female servers in the room) to no avail, we had to all decant to a different room where females were allowed.
Are those in this thread advocating that as visitors we should be courteous and abide by rules, saying we should abide by that rule?
Sadly golf is very much still in a bygone era, and yes the above is a one off extreme example but these examples do exist.
Golf needs to modernise if it is to flourish!
First thing is I would hope any society wouldn’t go near a club that has something like that in place - in all my time playing golf I have never seen any club have a “men only” room beyond changing rooms , members only yes but nothing splitting sexes up. Where is this club located ?
and yes it is an extreme example a lifetime away from changing shoes in a car park rule
There used to be “men only” clubs but believe they have gone in the UK with i think Aberdeen the last club to allow women to join.
