The other vote has almost been forgotten in the referendum excitement....

Hoping for a yes in this one!

I will be hoping for one YES and one NO but won't be holding my breath for either as the alternatives are very depressing.

a couple of the guys on my trip away the other week are R&A members one of them is on the committee as well and they both said the vote will go ahead.

Think I've just failed(?) a 'gay test', picture of Natalie Gulbis in a short skirt and my first thought was "her clubface is very closed at the top!"

Common sense prevails and long overdue. I heard they were only going to invite a select band of women who had made a contribution to the game initially. Have they said who?

Good result and about time.

As to who, I had seen some names but the only one I recall is Anneka Sorenstam. Waits to be seen. But one of the first should be the principal of St A University. All her male predecessors were, so she should be.

plus she stood up against Salmond and his cronies trying to bully her into making a false statement.

Quite. But you don't get R&A membership for that. You get a damehood, and a seat on God's right hand (in due course)

I think its a great progressive move forward for Women's rights!

They aren't letting them in the snooker room, are they?

Er. A great progressive move/acknowledgement by R&A! Nothing to do with Women's Rights!

A win win and both decided in my home county of Fife. I might even crack open a bottle tonight.

Looks like common sense has prevailed all around.

Makes a nice change :cheers:

Change isn't always a good thing IMO
