So if women are allowed to join at Augusta, would it require renovations to the golf course itself or are there already ladies tees at every hole?
I took lessons and a few on course playing lessons from a PGA certified golf pro who had played for a time on the PGA tour. What he said about tee placement made a lot of sense. The Blue, White, Gold and Red (Ladies tees) were rather meaningless as far as gender and age and rather what tees you tee off from should be based on your handicap and average driving distance and the course the length and handicap rating. When I took a playing lesson along with three men, one was not all that happy when the golf pro had him tee off from the Red tees and had me tee off from the White tees. The other young guy was just as unhappy when the pro told him to tee off from the Gold tees : ),
As a woman who plays golf and loves the game and plays, not on a pro level but pretty competently and having beat a fair share of men, I have no problem with Augusta National’s rules for membership. Sure as a golfer and fan of the great golf courses, I’d love to play a round at Augusta but I respect their rights as a private club to decide who and who cannot be a member.
No Red Tees at Augusta.
