Couple of lads at my club are gay.
Good players and always Good company.
Its 2017 by the way who cares.

I heard that too. I do find it strange though that there is not even one in any of the clubs I've been members of. Although my current club there are a high number of lesbians.
Although all the posters seem open minded, golfers are often very traditional based on my experience so I'm not sure how they would react if there was "the only gay in the golf club"
How do you know there are no members who are gay?
Surely they do not have to declare their sexuality
It's just such a non-issue.
Unfortunately can imagine a drunken U.S crowd now, 2017 or not some folks haven't moved on.
Well since so many high profile tournaments are held in countries where it's illegal to be gay it might be a bit of a problem. .
The golf ball doesn't know if you are gay, straight, male, female, black, white, 12 or 92
so why does it matter
A lot of my shots definitely aren't straight! 😜The golf ball doesn't know if you are gay, straight, male, female, black, white, 12 or 92

I think the point here is why is it such an issue for a gay person to come out in the world of tour golf than it is with any other sport? Its funny cos football seems to have this stigma as well but I cant think of any other sport that being gay seems to be an issue.
I don't think it's an issue for any particular sport but, in general, I believe the more high profile individuals are open about their sexuality the better. But it's a private matter so I don't feel anyone should be pressured to come out if they're not ready.
