what do u guys think??should they allow women in the club???i personally believe they should not .....i mean... this whole title 9 bullshit is gettin ridiculous ....i mean there r only 300 members in all of the world. dont get me wrong, i am all for women and all that they do but this is one thing that i dont think they have any place in . r there men allowed in the YWCA???no.... r there men allowed in "curves for women" ????
i recently watched a show on espn about title 9 saying that they r stopping mens programs to start new womens programs!!!if this is not reverse discrimination i dont know what is!! to eliminate a program just so a womens program can open up is obserd. u guys and girls let me know what u think about this whole topic.

Reverse Descrimination is a very common occurance in our society. This is always a "hot topic" in debate. If you look at the scholarship programs offered for just being in a minority group, it is rediculous. I know there are scholarships offered to the majority, but "why segregate groups if society preaches to unsegregate."

I don't know how I feel on the topic, but I do know one thing, to let someone who is less qualified and has less credentials into college or give them a job soley based on ethnicity is wrong.

Equal rights??? What are you thoughts?

thats bull shit let im open there own damn club ! this reminds me of the time our local high school decided to open a girls basketball program. all the woman stood up for it . and it passed. then the hole town figured out it was going to take money away from the boys football and basketball programs . then they shut the girls down. point being things work out good the way they are then all the sudden females come in the picture and shit starts geting all fucked up . (just my personal opinion this dose not reflect the collective opinions of the board)he he he

Ooh. This is a very heated topic. I'm all for equal rights but when it cuts into what's right just to be politically correct, that's where I draw the line. About the girls wanting to be men, sure, if your as good as a man. In high school PE the guys had to run a mile in 7:30 to pass with an A, the girls had to run it in 10:30. They're the one's always spouting off about equal rights, why not equal obstacles? I'm dying to hear a women's point of view.

You cannot tell a privately owned entity whether they can discriminate between male and female,it is just simply unconstitutional unless they recieve public funds...which of course they do not.
These stupid bed wetting femanazis with there psuedo "pro-choice" attitude (which they are most definitely not pro-choice),have got nothing better to do with there time and there tax payer supported groups.They are just wasting MINE and YOUR money.

Hootie has already dropped their sponsers, Coke and I can't remember the other, so they will not catch any backlash. I don't think they are going to give in. And I think they are right, Augusta is all about tradition, if there tradition is no women members then get over it.

Another thing they would have to add new women's tees to the course, if any of you have ever been there, you know how obessive they are about the course, and how it looks, not just condition, but class, no cart paths, electirc signs, etc. They would think extra tee boxes would just look "tacky"

They shouldnt do it. Its a private club, you can open anything and as long as you dont take goverment money, they can not tell you what to do. I hate how everything has to be equal, i bet there is some womens club, that we cant join. But do you see us bitching about it, No.

What the hell is happening to our society!!! People are always sueing each other at the drop of a hat for stupid shit, and people are always complaining about prejudice.... and equal rights, what a crock of shit that is... there is no such thing!! This will never go away because people won't let it go away. Until everyone can stop blaming other people for what they do or get themselves into, until people stop sueing for stupid shit..... there is too much to list but I think you guys get the point.

Augusta National, please!!! If women want a private golf club of their, let them build it! They have no right to start this crap. A private club is a private club. We desparately need some judges with balls, someone who would say " Get the fuck out of my courtroom with this bullshit before I charge you with contempt!"

just my .02

I don't think they should open that up to women and I am a woman. like some else said, men aren't allowed in women's gyms and there are probably alot of other organizations like that, so I don't see what the big deal is. How many other golf courses are around that the women can use? Probably quite a few. I think it was just a way for some pretty pathetic women to get there names in the news.

now this lady wants the PGA to not use the course for the Masters !!!viper...i am not sayin that we r not equal...all i am saying is that it is bullshit that in todays society someone has to pipe up about correctness and has to pull there weight around to get something done...cuz when it all comes down 2 it....its all about money..whoever has money has power... so u r tellin me that I, myself, a man...should b allowed in a Womens health club??every womans return would b..."u can go to any other health club, there is no need to come here...it is womens only" well...case in point.....there r hundreds of thousands of other golf courses that woman can play...hell this woman probably plays better then half the men....but that is besides the point. politics and american society are all fucked up....

Legaly they can;t make them and they shouldn't, but presser should be put on golfers who participate in such events, tiger Woods a BLACK GOLFER but won't stand up for equal rights, talk about a Uncle Tom, just call it like I see it.

12-06-2002, 01:22 AM
tiger woods isnt even a member...he is an "honorary" member....so obviously they just dont let anyone in!!!as far as the government and what not...thats not the case....the big problem here is that all the pressure that this woman is putting on this club may break them down.....just think that if she gets the PGA to drop Augusta as the site for the Masters cuz of her...think of the revenue that the club loses!! it all comes down to money and knowing someone that knows someone else....BULLSHIT I SAY!!

i agree when i played hockey i think i was 14 the league decided to let girls try out for the guys team well only a handfull made it.

We were playing one of the teams with a chick on it. well to make a long story short she got the puck behind are net and was skating along the board i was coming in at a 90 degree angle to her and hit her into the boards and heard a loud snap and she went down (snapped her collar bone) I took heat for the hit from the league and uit was a clean hit they said i should of eased off cause it was a girl. I said BULLSHIT i ain't changing the way i play cause some girl has the puck too bad if she can't take a hit go play ringette with all the other chicks.

woman have no business competing in leagues with men be it hockey football or whatever.

Since we all like golf so much:)

The Rules of Bedroom Golf


Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play, normally one club and
two balls.
Play on course must be approved by the owner of the hole.
Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the
balls out.
For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners
are
permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.
Course owners reserve the right to restrict club length to avoid damage to
the hole.
Object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the owner
is
satisfied play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied
permission to play again.
It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon
arrival.
Experienced players will normally take time to admire the entire course,
paying special attention to well formed mounds and bunkers.
Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played or are
currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset owners have

been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.
Players are encouraged to have proper rain gear, just in case.
Players should not assume that the course is in shape to play at all times.
Players may be embarrassed if they find the course temporarily under repair.

Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced

players will find alternate means of play when this is the case.
Players should assume their match has been properly scheduled particularly
when playing a new course for the 1st time. Previous players have been known

to become irate if they discover someone else is playing what they
considered
a private course.
The owner of the course is responsible for the pruning of any bushes, which
may reduce the visibility of the hole.
Players are strongly advised to get the owners permission before attempting
to play the backside.
Slow play is encouraged, however, players should be prepared to proceed at a

quicker pace at the owners request.
It is considered an outstanding performance, time permitting, to play the
same hole several times in one match.
