    Should have a knock on effect on Muirfield and Portmarnock.

    So a handful of women can join these clubs...

    By 85%.
    They invented the game so one would presume that they'll now stop the english from playing it.

    There's probably a 3 hundred year waiting list to get in. Wonder what the fees are too?

    I liked Charlie Hull's take on it earlier this year. When she was asked about it, she basically said same-sex clubs are BS. When the interviewer mentioned something along the lines of "old boys clubs" and their sexism, Hull stopped her and said that almost 50% of the single-sex clubs in the UK were ladies only, so it wasn't just men at fault. Silence followed before subject was changed.
