   So does the club have to build lockers and showers for women now? I guess they will, now that they are guaranteeing themselves of getting the millions that they would have lost had they stuck to the old ways of being men only. Expect to see a whole new section of clubhouse soon

   My wife works at a bank where she lends about 50 billion dollars per annum to many businesses throughout the world. Her area of expertise is in the hotel industry, primarily with the major players. And she takes home well over 7 figures as her remuneration is tied to performance. The bigger the loan, the bigger the fee. I could easily see her joining a club like Muirfield because she likes the finer things in life, actually the best things in life. At her bank, there are 90,000 employees, in the executive branch, the ratio is about 35% women , each taking home at least $500,000 and like I said before, admirers and consumers of the finer things in life. They earned it and they can afford it.
   So in 2017, why would any high end entity want to exclude women? It’s not that they can’t afford to join. Here’s a revenue stream these stuffed shirts never imagined.

   Muirfield did not have to change its rules. Women did not sue Muirfield. The open championship just did not want to associate itself with that club for not allowing women to join. There is not any hypocrisy. You are more than welcome to open/ join any men only clubs you want. Just dont expect to hold a major golf tournament there. They could have remained men only. They voted not to be men only this time around.

     I’m with you, George.
     I don’t care that Muirfield was Men Only.
     I don’t care that the R&A removed them from the rotation.
     I don’t care that they voted to admit female members.
     I don’t care that the R&A restored their spot in the rotation.
     We all make choices. They sometimes have consequences.
     Sometimes we get to have our cake and eat it it too. Other times, not.
     Big deal.

   I feel really sorry for any woman asked to be a member. Muirfield is a great course with a stuffy old fashioned, out of touch with reality club attached. I can see a couple of token gestures to keep the R&A happy and that will be it. Muirfield members actually think they are the elite of the elite in Scottish Golf and look down on every club and course. Best of luck ladies, I hope you like Whisky and talking finance all day and night.

     Sounds like a classic case of not wanting to join a club that would have me.
