I am trying to find out if any golf course around has an Over 50 league. I am 46 (the youngest in the league) and have been a member of a league for 3 years, at an executive board meeting the "older ladies" decided to exclude me they would propose to make their league an over 50 league. I am trying to find out first if any other course has such leagues and if so did they originally start that way or one day was there a vote to exclude people. Secondly I am trying to find out if this is legal or a discrimination issue I can follow up on. I have support from the golf course but they say since the league is independently ran they can't change if the vote is done to exclude under 50. I have not found a course where I live that would even support such a decision most pros say they would not allow it at their course. The executive members state they want to run things like the PGA Seniors and be over 50 so the older ladies do not have to compete with the younger ladies. The problem with this theory is that the Senior PGA Tour does not utilize a handicap system like we do. The only tournament I actually win is the club championship, the monthly tournaments and weekly games that are played I do not win due to the fact that for 9 holes we have some ladies who have a 36 handicap. I am just curious as to any thoughts on this. April 2, 2014 is the vote.
