Not in the slightest. If there's a women's tourney on weekends it's more like a men-free zone.

Should they all play in Venus?

As long as they're not holding me up and refusing to let me play through even though they're a good hole or two behind I don't care where they play.

Do they really understand the concept of putting?

Putting is one thing men and women do equally as bad. ;)

Why are most of them over 50 and wearing multicolored Bermudas two sizes too small?

For the same reason lots of guys play wearing beat-up and battered muddy footwear, tweed trousers and Christmas jumpers under their ancient, faded MacGregor hat from the 80's?

Actually, at my club the women are quite serious. Follow the rules to a T and are better at keeping pace than some of the regular mens groups. I for 1 love playing our regular Sunday round with my wive and we vary between a dozen or so couples we play against.

My only problem with golf is that I am usually standing too close to the ball............ after I hit it.

No, because they would get worked.

Are Saturdays and Sundays a lady free zone?

No, but it is 90+% men.

Should they all play in Venus?

What the heck is Venus?

Do they really understand the concept of putting?

No they do not, and it makes no sense since it has nothing to do with power.

Why are most of them over 50 and wearing multicolored Bermudas two sizes too small?

Most are over 50 wearing brightly colored outfits that perfectly coordinate, sometimes with their clubs.

1) You were too serious and seemed angry.

2) Not smart or funny enough.

What part of my post did you think was intended to be funny?

Also curious, what sort of lessons is a 16.7 handicap giving?

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
