A poster above nailed it when he called it a "sausage fest." But men's club, women's club big deal people. Let them run it how they see fit.

If a men-only club is a "sausage fest", what would you call a women-only club? Just curious.

No offense to the member of the same name but, I'd venture the term clambake? or perhaps taco fry?

Wasn't Augusta National a men's only club until just recently?  They never had a Ryder Cup or any other 'public' event, did they?  And when will Augusta start construction on the swimming pools, tennis courts and expanded powder rooms for the ladies?

Women weren't banned from Augusta, only from becoming full members. LPGA pro's play there quite often, Family outings are a regular occurrence there as well.

I don't see what the big issue is. Here in Evanston (suburb of Chicago) we have a women's club. It's for women only. No one complains about it, especially men because men don't want to be there. Once again, it's for women only. Since when did it become a bad thing to have a club for men (or women)? We're talking about recreation, people, get a grip.

Sigh.

I was trying to make the point that those of you using derogatory names for a men-only club might think twice before applying the same treatment to a women-only club. Now I see how misguided I was.

I thought golf was about developing business/political connections to get ahead in life?

Never underestimate the crudeness of some people on the internet.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Heh... Yeah, it's all good though - I asked for it!

Part of belonging to a private club is to develop business / political connections, the other part is to escape from every day life and have some "me" time.

Women bring drama to a club, men typically get along well but add women to the mix and suddenly there's drama.  Plus for all you haters of slow play, the women at my club average 5+ hour rounds because they spend more time chatting than golfing.

Does Butler National allow women to use the course and other club facilities? I know that some clubs only allow men to be members, but dependents can use the club like they are members.

Per this link , the answer is no.

I'm now thinking of this old Three Stooges short The W-H Club Suppose a member snuck a woman onto the course, had her smoke cigars and tell raunchy jokes to fit in.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
