...because they won't allow women members. Good for them.

quote:
The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, which owns Open Championship venue Muirfield, has voted to remain a men-only club after failing to reach the two-thirds majority required to change the club's membership policy.

Following the announcement, the R&A immediately issued a statement saying that golf's oldest major will no longer be held at the Gullane venue.


I eagerly await Bob Costas' sanctimonious rebuke.

Hope this doesn't piss them off and they not allow my group of four men to play in a little over two months

Cool with a private club doing whatever they want with their membership.

Also cool with the R&A doing what they want with their championship. Good for them.

PC is destroying freedom. So, go form a women's only club and pay for it, When their normal rotation comes up, they should hold the open and the pros should play there and boycott the R&A, if they have any balls. I note that no women are talented enuf to compete on the PGA or Euro tours. Not a knock on women, just confirms that there are major differences between men and women, even if they pee at the same time in the same bathroom,

Remember, the Left hates "discrimination" so much that any time they find it where they don't like it, they immediately teach those people a lesson by discriminating against them. That's how much they hate discrimination.

When is "The Open" championship going to end their discrimination against courses with trees?
