A generation of women who are not fighting to get in to the "good old boy's" circles, but rather creating high value power bases of their own.Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13221547585113488764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406515263018873125.post-74591781277697803342007-06-15T11:30:00.000-05:002007-06-15T11:30:00.000-05:002007-06-15T11:30:00.000-05:00Separate but equal has been discredited a long time in this country. If you don't think "good ol boys" deals about business that exclude women are made on the golf course, you should really think again. What kind of message is it when you are told as a club member that you are a second class citizen. Please for the sake of your daughters think again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406515263018873125.post-19228981779616073262007-06-14T20:03:00.000-05:002007-06-14T20:03:00.000-05:002007-06-14T20:03:00.000-05:00I do feel that there should be more equality in golf facilities that are open to both sexes. In my many travels across the country in what I do for business I get to see the entire country club or golf resort, inside and out. I am embarrassed at how the men's facilities of almost all of the clubs I visit are drenched in luxury and amenities while the facilities allocated by the club for women are of no way near to being equal. For me, that has got to change. Gone are the days when the little lady sits at home keeping house while the man of house goes out to play a round of golf. Now you will see them together or apart playing a round of golf. Why can't golf clubs see the future of golf and change before they are forced out of business. HUMMM sounds like a mission doesn't it?Dukehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06171162912892126013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406515263018873125.post-75382062274491071112007-06-13T14:22:00.000-05:002007-06-13T14:22:00.000-05:002007-06-13T14:22:00.000-05:00Well said and i totally agree.<BR/><BR/>The thing is, and I see it at our local country club, the "men only" activities, lounges and such are perceived as being exciting, fun, and a bit lascivious, centered on drinking, swearing, cigar-smoking and the like while the "women only" equivalents are perceived as being dull and boring, centered on chatting about children and grandchildren, sipping iced tea and gossiping about the female members who dress inappropriately for the course. <BR/><BR/>Fortunately this appears to be a generational thing, as a new post-feminist generation takes over this will be less and less the case. Today's young women are much more able to have fun and feel empowered than the Martha Burk era gals, and often choose to vacation or go out without men. They're not going to be fighting to get into "men only" venues, they'll simply create their own places. <BR/><BR/>Yes Martha Burk and her posse are dinosaurs, it's just a shame they're able to instigate frivolous lawsuits... which end up costing everyone money... before becoming extinct.Patriciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13221547585113488764noreply@blogger.com
