I don’t need my points validated, but if I was directly responded to and had my post questioned I’d at least explain my point or apologise if I was wrong.
As for taking posters liking your post as somehow seeing some merit in said post and not them “playing the man” (who your post is about) is forum gold.

A private club near me has a poster at the entrance with the message 'Get into golf' with pictures of men, women and kids.
Let's make golf totally inclusive and throw away the exclusivity still enjoyed by many courses which belongs to a different age.
Introduce trial memberships for all if they haven't already done so.
But I hear some of you say, we need membership limits, we need high standards, little people don't know how to behave, they might hack our precious course to pieces and become disruptive.
To that I say, just throw them out if they do.

That has nothing to do with why I posted.
I commented on Paul's quite correct view that your posting style is designed to, and I quote, "kellfire’s motivation is once again to put others down by trying to look clever" and was nothing to do with the substance of the argument with Phil.
You just come across as a poor mans Ethan

Kellfire asked a perfectly reasonable question in a perfectly reasonable manner.
The outrage is laughable considering many people think that blatant discrimination is okay, as long as you discriminate against a whole group of people. And that its fine if it says so in the club rules.
I wonder which forum members have been or are committee members who make these rules?

There’s no outrage, so please let’s not over react.
I’m very sorry, but Kellfire’s question wasn’t reasonable, he know’s exactly what he posted and he knows enough about the military to know that isn’t how they work, he has stated his anti-military views numerous times on here and approx 3 posts prior to the one I answered he tried to belittle Phil.
I am in no way friendly or a mate of Phil’s but he certainly doesn’t deserve his service being questioned.
If anything, Kellfire’s continous snidey, smart ar5e comments are a form of trolling and mental bullying imo.
Maybe he should think of others mental health and were they are in their life before posting as he does.

No, it's not always what you say that I find offensive its the way you say it when trying to look superior in intellect to people who disagree with you, if that's not playing the ball so be it.
The only thing that I find tiring is wondering why you do it !

I pointed out earlier it was nothing to do with Phil and you, or about being questioned, it was in support of Pauls comment about your posting style which always seems to have a personal put down for anyone who questions you. See post#333
This thread is getting really silly. I'm only just catching up, but it seems like Kellfire asked a reasonable question out of curiosity, LiverpoolPhil answered it in a fair and succinct manner, and nobody else's opinion on that exchange was really needed??

The Hypocrisy is tremendous.

You mean the post were phil answered and has received no acknowledgement from Kellfire, or my initial post he ignored and then gone on to play the victim.
Why should Phil take it as a genuine question when hours earlier in the football thread he was taking the p!ss out of how phil posts?
Isn’t respect a 2 way street?

Anyway back to the topic
Our first step when I joined the comp committee was to bring in more mixed comps to allow the ladies at weekends to be able to play competitive golf
The current step was to allow all members to play of whites if they wish
Next step is to allow guests
Next step - chance colour of the tees - remove the red and yellow and bring
Blue - forward tees
Whites - general play tees
Black - competition tees
And the final step will be for all tees to be used by all whenever they wish
As with mixed comps etc the strongest resistance to the changes has come from the ladies section -

If my memory serves me right uou used the red tees and had to give some shots back due to the difference on Sss difference.
As for ware and tear on the tees This is not the case in this instance, there are no longer any gender specific tees and it was made clear on many occasions, the green and silver tees are probably the best condition tee,s on the course, guys who might use an iron off the tee just don't use these tee,s. The silver tees were brought in for the ladies because they made stink because the men had 3 separate tees to use, so the club built these further forward and had them rated, the ladies section have point blank refused to use the silver. Had an email this morning saying the next vice captain of the club was going to be the current ladies captain. The very person lobbying for the ladies to play in the men's matches and point blank refusing to either include men in their matches and keep them woman only... agm is going to be interesting 😉

Back on track please and stop the personal attacks, any more and I'll have to set fragger on you
You would only be asked if in a competition if more thjan one tee was available for your gender. Though for General Play scores you would always be asked, assuming that the course has more than one tee rated for your gender.
