Posted on February 25, 2003 Southern Trace Country Club of Shreveport is indeed a "public" facility under the law, but the men-only policy in the club's Men's Grille does not violate the state constitution, a Caddo district judge ruled Monday.

Judge Brun has long active in Shreveport-area Republican politics prior to his election as a district judge. In 1976, he was a young Reagan delegate to the Republican National Convention that met in Kansas City.

WAAAHHH WAAAHHH we have ours but we want yours also.Sounds like penis envy to me.glad the judge saw it he same way.

I like the sounds of this... No one can tell me it makes sense to demand all our establishments be both-sex.

On a side note... I heard the other day that a male golfer is going to enter a Ladies' PGA tournament... or at least attempt to. That is a real hoot. I wish him luck in making his point. (Also, if he manages to win into it, he better dang well win...)

This is a "public" facility under the law?

Does this mean it's like my local bar or restaurant? Privately owned, but open to the public?

What difference does this make? I'm thinking of Augusta National here.

[Theodore R.]

I believe this is a "grille" which men can access only because they first have to pass through a locker toom to get to the grille.

These "women" are really on a roll.

A group of "women" have come up with a response to Hooters.

They are calling it Tally Wackers.

WHATEVER...

Actually, the Men's Grille is a common feature of Southern Country Clubs. Basically, they are little rooms attached to the locker rooms where men of a certain age retire to after their round, and they lounge around in the underwear and play poker and drink beer.

Ladies, you're really not missing much.
