Can't you play during Mens Competions ?
We have a few full lady members who play in slots in the middle of the mens competion on Saturdays.
Incidentally Lady Full members are the only group who have the right to play every day, Male Full members cannot play on Ladies Comp Day ( Tuesday) until 12 30 , shock horror!
I don't know what it is but it is not EQUALITY ,hence my shouting.

Nope. Men only and no slots. Plus winter comps are a shotgun start so the course is basically closed to everyone else. Summer medals are all day Saturday and until about 1pm Sunday. We aren't equal in any way shape or form - much more effort/desire to keep the course fully open for the Men. We have 2 hours on a Tuesday reserved for comps (10-12 off the first tee only).

And you pay equal membership fees nowadays too? Awful way to treat a lady!

Funnily enough I was just saying today that equal fees is right but that has to mean equal membership benefits too. It's not so much the tee reservations but the commitment to course opening and then course set-up for big Men's comps versus what the other sections get. It's a two tier membership so probably should be a two tier fee structure.
 
Pubs that think it's entertaining to not make the effort to clear a route from the car park to the entrance. As we arrived there was an old deer with a walking frame really struggling to get across the icy path. HID parked (well dumped) the car and we went and helped her in. How hard would it have been to clear it yesterday?

I'm not sure equality will ever truly exist.
 
Bloomin referee at the Rangers v St Mirren game.

Awarding four penalties to the Gers was fair game, but there was an obvious encroachment by the St Mirren player with the one penalty that they missed. It should have been re-taken. Complaint lodged to the SPFL.

I understand your pain but did you read my post and in particular the last sentence ?
Our ladies are as bad as your men, inequality is not just the preserve of males,that was my point.

Premier Inn service arrived for a other week in Manchester to a different Premier Inn, got to room and no light bulbs in any of the spotlights in bathroom. Took 30mins to explain why I need light in a bathroom before they moved me to a different room..

In the bright side my new room has 2 double beds that I've put together and I'm literally 50 yards from Trafford golf centre so I know what I'll be doing every night this week.

I did. Your Ladies have the tee from daylight until 12.30 once a week? I would expect it's possible to play before they start as well as after 12.30? The few slots within the Men's Saturday competition equate to how much of the reservation that day?

My last try.
Our ladies can opt for Full Membership as can men.
The difference is a Full Membership lady can play 7 days a week.The equivalent Full Membership man can only play 6 1/2 days a week.
EQUALITY ! not in my book.
Not my problem now, I am only a Social Member due to a degenerative back condition.
Enjoy your golf whenever you can play, it may not last forever.

All agreements are confirmed in text she still every so often does this though to supposedly show her power in that she is the parent they live with full time so she will decide change then last minute to flex her muscles and make me try and jump through hoops, it's why I got solicitors involved but we've been told they can do nothing until its been through family mediation but she has failed to show on occasions costing me money stating she won't agree to anything only what she wants. So back in the same circle we go,.

That's absolutely bloody outrageous. It's no wonder you see these Fathers For Justice geezers climbing up buildings dress as superman and whatnot. Sounds like you don't have a leg to stand on.
