"... Another golfing jewel is the word "GOLF" stands for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden..."

Have you heard of the LPGA?

Prior to extensive back surgery in October, 2016, I was a 7-hdcp (from the white tees), 9th place finish in a tournament with over 3400 players, 2nd place Summer Solstice tournament (54 holes in one day) and Maryland Military Women's Long Drive top 5 finisher 3 years in a row. Once my rehab is complete, feel free to toodle on over to North Carolina, and I'll change your mind on that opinion. I fully support Augusta (or any other private club) excluding female players. Likewise, I would support a ladies only private club. In fact, any private club has the right to restrict its membership to whatever demographic it likes.

That said, golf is not a "men's only" sport by a long shot.

Good luck with rehab and get back on the course soon!

Partner, you got that right!

The LPGA started because of "GOLF" and thank God that it did, since I have never seen a woman drive a ball farther than a man or even hit a long iron longer than a man.

Partner, for some strange biblical reference, men just are born stronger than women.
