Not sure I see a problem with a private club making their own rules. The fact that numerous women-only clubs exist and you never hear about them. Suppose that shows how hypocritical this fake outrage is.

Women only clubs exist... it's not a secret. It's not like someone's keeping quiet about them.

There aren't any women only golf clubs. There have been men only and women only private clubs for years. I don't think it's the same thing at all.

Difference is that this club wanted to profit from a tournament while still keeping their archaic rules.

It's a private club so they make their own rules but they can't expect the event money to keep rolling in as well.

Not true the letter they sent to members recommended changing the rules, the proposal was defeated by 14 votes so not overturnable

That's true, you are right, it just didn't make the two thirds majority required to change the ruling.

The members took the decision knowing if it went this way the open would no longer be held there. That's their choice

There is an awful lot of snobbery still in golf clubs, the no women is just one side of it and I think Muirfield is one of the worst offenders.

You're so right. My local(ish) golf club allows women but why anyone would want to hang out with that bunch of old snobs is beyond me. And it's a shame, I wouldn't mind taking some lessons
