    We love holding the Open, but ...

    ... not if means allowing women into the club

    What a delightful, forward-thinking bunch the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers must be. Muirfield has hosted some of the most memorable Open Championships in history, and there'll never be another one. Hope they enjoy their club now no tourists will ever want to come and play it again.

    I passed through Nic Sturgeon's home town Irvine the other day. It was unusually sunny and plenty of golfers were enjoying the seaside links at Troon.

    These misogynist enclaves to the Middle Ages are rather more common than the dear Leaderene might admit...

      I have no interest in golf at all, so to be very generous to them maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think there was a single sentence of that quote from Guy which didn't have me mentally asking 'why?' after reading it.

          Slow play is actually an issue in golf.

          But if Muirfield want to promote people finishing rounds at a reasonable pace they probably want to ban most professional golfers from the course. And, in particular, Jordan Spieth.

            It appears the man is even more stupid than we thought!

            Joining the debate on Muirfield Golf Club voting against accepting women members Mr Alliss said: “I want to join the WVS but unless I have a few bits and pieces nipped away on my body I’m not going to be able to get in”.

            It may be typical of Alliss’ jocular tone, but it has not amused many of the organisation’s legions of male volunteers.

            Now rebranded as the Royal Voluntary Service to get away from the stereotypical view of being a women’s organisation, it caused a gnashing of teeth among members of the RVS.
            1. It's not been the WRVS for years.

            2. It's had members who are men for years.

            Just do one, you ridiculous misogynistic little troll.
