Women playing with men

Might of had the bravado to do so as a younger man ;) but certainly not these days :o...

Golfed on many occassions with ladies as part of my group... But these days my bladder is not up to lasting longer than half a dozen holes... I am sure if I was lucky enough to join up with some ladies on the course I'd find a way around my 'problem'...

Just about the etiquette... Believe it or not I still give up my seat on public transport to ladies and walk on the roadside of the pavement when passing ladies when out walking... Was brought up proper me!
Mega - as long as you run away into a bush or a tree then its fine ;)
just dont pee on the tee box or the green or in the wee hole on the green...;)
 
Yes the exact club draw boy an I are members of. That's why I think it's a problem to him

Yes, I can see why that would be a problem. However the responses to my earlier thread revealed that men often have a different interpretation of equal rights.

I presume there are no overt differences at your club so ladies can play 7 days, fully use the clubhouse etc. But what about more subtle differences... what about competitions? Do they have as many as you? Are mens comps at the weekend, ladies through the week etc...? What about team matches - when do they get tee reservations for each gender?

Mind you only a third? That's a big difference in cost even if there are subtly different conditions....
 
Good to see that there are clubs where the dinosaurs still roam the fairways freely. Perhaps if we moved all the dinosaurs into these clubs we could have a massive cull and help the evolutionary process along a bit.

This would then let golf move into the enlightened era of the 21st Century.

I really can't believe that people still seriously harbour views such as this. What has made men fear women so much that they can't play golf with them ?
 
I really dont see the problem. you play your card, the girls play their card
the handicap system takes care of it all

Unless you are talking about female bandits ( deliberate stir)

Fragger :0
 
I don't mind playing with anyone - Male or Female - as long as :-

A. They can keep up with me

or

B. I can keep up with them..
 
This is Bert and Gert (or names to that effect) and they are going to play with you from now on, to the other group.
I don't have a problem playing with Ladies. Nor do I have a problem if they have a problem playing with me! However, I do have a problem being forced what to (or not to) do something - and this seems to have been forced upon the group. Doesn't seem to have been a particularly diplomatic introduction imo! Wouldn't be surprised if one of the group objected, just because of it being forced upon them.
 
The fact we only have around 10 female members and I'd say the youngest is in her late forties if they enter a men's comp play off the men's tees and same card

Just got this image of you giving up your seat on the bus to a busty,shaven headed, tatooed young lady.

You've just described my kinda woman to a tee ;):D...

My actions are not intended to be patronising just plain old fashioned gentlemanly... Most younger ladies do decline politely where as ladies of my age more readily accept my offer and intentions... Its a shame that 'progress' means losing our old values :(...
 
So not enough for a viable ladies section and a male membership who don't want to play with a lady. Doesn't sound great to be honest.

Is the cheaper fee a deliberate attempt to boost female membership as per younger members as discussed on other threads?
 
I always offer my seat to a lady, or if im standing on a busy tube and some tw!t is sitting there while an old gal is standing, i'l offer his seat to her for him ;)

Cant understand this whole sex barrier in golf. I wonder if the same men who think this way still think the under privelaged and 'lesser races' should be allowed on their golf courses? WHAT WHAT!
 
Woman play golf?? Only joking

I think it would be quite interesting if an absolute stunner was to be playing in your group, tanned slender legs in tight fitting shorts, wonder how that would affect everyone?

I have played with that very person on a hot summers day, I still remember the details fondly......I have absolutely no idea of my score, the course or year it happened though but it was a very pleasant round. We must have been playing exceptional golf though as people kept staring at us from other fairways.
 
I could not give a toss if it was Jordan, I go to golf to get away from women, Why do they have this massive desire to do everything men do, I have no desire to go home and start ironing and vacuuming the house. Can we not have one thing away from them for a few hours a week? If you go to the rugby..some idiot has taken them with them, same at the footy, horse racing is full of them strutting around in hats, what is wrong with wanting to get away from them for a little while?
