It is true that many women at clubs don't want to play with the men. In some respects I understand that. Quite often I've found myself waiting for the guys to tee off, walk forwards to the red tees and then they wander along, clubs clanking chatting about their shot. Some even don't bother to stop walking forwards. As it can often be the way that the female plays many shots first it can become tiring and not a pleasant experience.
Of course that's not by any means all male golfers but it's happened to me enough times and I imagine the shorter hitting ladies get fed up quite quickly.
Of course there are also plenty of women who just want to play with their pals and talk all things WI and grandchildren (which I find equally uninviting)!!
I find it a bit patronising that certain posters are insisting that the women need to play mixed events, as if men must be involved to give it credibility. I think women's golf is perfectly credible.
