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.

Thank you for your participation, you scored 2/5, that's a 40% mark for your answers. I'll not tell you where you went wrong in case anyone else wants to have a go. I'll give two little tips...

1) You weren't even close to being Male Chauvinistic.

2) Funny but not funny enough.

Everyone is allowed two goes at this competition.

1st Prize... Two 60 min. lessons from me

2nd Prize... Four 60 min. lessons from me.

No, because they would get worked.

No, but it is 90+% men.

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.

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?

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
