Yes, it certainly appears that the association's rules are specific and this golfer didn't meet the rules necessary to qualify.
If the golfer can't respect that, that's simply unfortunate.
And perhaps not, given that she was born a hermaphrodite (meaning having characteristics of both sexes). Lots of possibilities for confused chromosomes.
LOL! Great Joke! (The Big Guy, my husband, is just about as rabid in HIS golfing!)
One of his favorites:
A male foursome was on the 8th green, when a funeral procession was spotted going along the road outside the course. One of the four stopped mid-putt, took off his hat and quietly held it at his heart. So the other three guys followed his reverent lead and did the same. After the procession had passed, one of the other men said, "Wow! What a decent thing to do, Fred!"
"Well," said Fred [Mr. Reverent], "I AM going to miss her! We were married for 35 years, after all!"
"If we weren't making a statement, we wouldn't be making statements about not making statements, now would we."
This is not a charity event. Believe me... if this person were another Arnie Palmer it would be sports headline news. So we don't have a star in the making here.
This person, whatever it's sex, has a cause and golf is the route for that cause.
