        women only gyms are popular because women want a space where they do not have to interact with men. I see no problem.

        self appointed voice of women. What leads u to that conclusion, and why do you think women might not want to share space?

        so you oppose womens' only sports clubs too? Or are you a raving hypocrite? I suspect you are a raving hypocrite.

        club's excuses are just pathetic - statement yesterday is dinosaur-level sexism (http://www.scotsman.com/sport/golf/muirfield-no-bid-cites-slow-play-foursomes-fear-and-lunch-1-4132047 …)

        right or wrong (imo it's wrong) but it's not sexism as its a private members course they can admit who they want.

        if they gave that as their sole reason i might agree. but the reasons given showed them to be sexist, imo.

        The reasoning was bs. I know it sounds snobby but all they had to say was its our club and our members voted

        remains to be seen if the R&A move re the open will change minds - or do they wait til the no voters die off?
