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.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
