R&A Blame The Weather for Poor Attendance

Perhaps thousands of women boycotted it because of Muirfield's membership policy. ;)

I very much doubt more than a handful of people directly boycotted it because of this one single issue (but probably more than boycotted it because of the superb weather;)) . But the issue has tarnished the brand and image of the Open. And the tarnishing and perception of the brand will have an influence on attracting the more casual visitor in future years.

Most hardened golf aficionados in the area will always come, but as can be seen from the attendance figures this year they also need to attract others as well. Well you'd hope they realise that they do, you never can tell with the R&A.
