doulikefish Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 and millions out of pocket No they won't. Whilst i agree with Deeboy at some point the loss of revenue from hosting an open which then attracts golfers from all over the world paying £230 a round which will curtail when it loses its an "open" venue will have some affect.I do know to be a member takes loads of cash but in the future losing around 8 million a year will bite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alert Mongoose Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Played there when I was younger. Fucking difficult course to play. They also wouldn't let me in the clubhouse until I had re-done my tie into a Windsor knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rational Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 While Men Only was always of a reasonable standard, Club International July 1999 was a thing of beauty. Jo Guest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 He's inferred that he'd rather sit in the company of paedophiles than members of men only golf clubs. That is not cool. They have more original chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Bit of a sweeping generalisation there considering more than half were in favour. Clearly referring to the people who have voted against women. It's the same thing as voting no blacks/Asians/whatever. Just not acceptable in this day and age.

welshbairn Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Everyone pushing for the women to get in at Muirfield have never been stuck behind a female 4 ball playing a medal. Surely they could have a few sessions a week for the ladies and shitty male golfers, maybe pre dawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and if they excluded black people then they could start a black only club; what's the problem with that? Is that your logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeboy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 There are plenty of black only clubs. Not golf, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 If a private club wants to restrict its membership then that's their right. There are plenty clubs that exclude you for various reasons. The R&A are perfectly entitled to react to this by removing the course from the Open roster. One of the big challenges for golf is to move away from the stuffy old man image it has and hosting worlds biggest tournament at clubs that exclude half the population isn't something they can really do. Peter Alliss has come out and said that the decision to remove the Open is "bullshit" and that if women want to join they should marry a member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Many moons ago my one and only round on the Championship Course at Carnoustie was pretty much ruined by being stuck behind a fourball of American women trailing golf bags the size of missile silos [you had to see this lot, total caricatures of the rich American tourist abroad]. If even one of them broke 150 I would be amazed, utter arseholes would'nt even let us play through. Despite this experience I feel that the gin soaked buffoons at Muirfield have shown themselves up for the sad old men that they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not acceptable in this day and age. Please stop comparing race with gender. Women are fucking mental which is why the guys would like some time on their own. The women can have their all female club if they so wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
