So Muirfield was 64%, 2% short of allowing women. No numbers disclosed by Troon, majority was required and a representative said it was "well over" majority.

LONDON — There are no longer any golf clubs on the British Open rotation that do not allow female members.

Members of Royal Troon Golf Club voted overwhelmingly on Friday to end the club’s male-only membership policy, paving the way for the club to remain an Open site.

“I think this means that Royal Troon Golf Club is reflecting the society in which we exist in the 21st century,” said Martin Cheyne, the club’s captain and top official, in a telephone interview from Troon on Friday night. “We are not insular, and I’m proud to say that we have made this decision.”

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.
