But what does being a guest versus being a member get guys? How is a member different than a guest. They'd have their own locker rooms and lavs. Guys still wouldn't have to play with them. They're allowed to play the course now. I guess what I'm getting at is that there has have been a reason for keeping them out or at least one would have been a member by now. Since they're allowed to play the course now, I'm just trying to see if there's a reason that's not the equivalent of Cooties!!

Hey, I kinda like your screen name. Send me your password so I can use it. And I notice I can't modify your home page here. I want to change it. I need your password for that also. And I can't read your Freepmail. Which I'd like to since I'm not sure what is there.

Give me what I want because I say I should have access to it!

You can run off or ban a guest. A member who pays $30,000 a year to be a member is a little harder to get rid of..Maybe they don't like to be told by a female that they have to have a pool, change the curtain patterns, put in a babysitting service for the female "members". Men pay the dues, men make the rules and probably it's not that way at the "member's" homes. If you don't lika da rules, start your own golf club.

Guests of members are most likely restricted to certain times and days of the week. Also, there are probably areas of the clubhouse where female guests are not allowed, such as the bar & grill area. So, even though female guests of members are "allowed," that does not mean that they enjoy the same priviledges.

It's a men's club, pure and simple. Those who accept the invitation to join do so for the right to freely associate with other men in a men's club atmosphere. Is there something inheritantly wrong with that? Why does it necessarily have to be a BAD thing, like misogyny?
