The optimist in me says well done for stopping this stupid out dated practice. The cynic in me says that they had no choice if they wanted to host an Open again, and if they did not have this threat over them, much like the R&A did from HSBC, nothing would have changed.
But whatever, good news for boys without a winkle everywhere.

Not really, sadly. Someone will be along in a minute to reveal that political correctness has gone mad.
Well done RSG, whatever the catalyst was.

It's s sad day
Nothing good will come of it. Where else is a chap supposed to go to escape the idle chattering of women, except the golf club.

Don't surprise me - still plenty of dinosaurs around
Today had an argument with 4 fossils who wouldn't let two ladies through when they were clearing holding them up !
Still too many of the dinosaurs around golf clubs

It's a problem with the game at grass roots level that so many clubs still have such elderly memberships, particularly when the game's poster boys & girls and role models are all in their 20s & 30s.
Our place is always trying to attract new younger members but with family life at it's most demanding in the 30s & 40s it's a real tough nut to crack.

About time. A step in the right direction but you can't help feeling there will still be obstacles put in their way (restricted tee times etc)

I'm sure you're right about that. Probably have a waiting list as long as the M4.
But it's more in relation to old dufferage that infests clubs up and down the country I'm talking about. That's where these bizarre attitudes are rife and getting younger people into clubs should help sweep this tomfoolery away.

Is there a RSG crest on the sideboard?
Are they also going to admit dogs now? Might as well go the whole hog!
