Re: Experiences with Female golfers.

Recall reading something somewhere that mentioned that ladies were not permitted as members of the R&A @ St Andrews until "much later"...

And upon their inclusion, they were referred to as "associates"...

In some clubs, they still are...

Very prehistoric if you ask me...

That said, my current club has no female members at all, whilst my previous one had only 10 or 12 of a total list of approx 150...

Personally, I see no need for the separate identification. Regardless of gender, you are a member and this is your handicap...

Cheers
