Raoul, do you have tranny issues that you're not telling us about?
Just how much do you remember after the 13th beer?

Because if the liberals didn't interfere we'd be able to do the Christian thing and round up these heathen freaks and burn them in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

They can always play in an easier, yet non-sexist, league. Determining who goes into what league just because of what sex chromosome their dad's sperm was carrying is discriminatory.Kobun Heat said:

You're damn straight it is, and thank goodness for discrimination. I discriminate every day, and you kids should too! If women want a unisex league, then they can join one. But if they want the competition to be totally even, they have to kick out any male golfers who can drive further than them. And that's discrimination! Yay for discrimination.Hammy said:

Sorry if my point wasn't written clearly enough. I would rather discriminate on skill rather than sex.Kobun Heat said:

Okay. But let's be honest here -- that's basically what they're doing. The fact that there's an LPGA is more beneficial to women than men. If the Masters were 50-50 men and women and they all started from the same tee, I don't think the scoreboard would do much for your theory.Hammy said:

That they are discriminating by sex?Kobun Heat said:
what "theory"?

That they're discriminating by skill, effectively.Hammy said:
That golfers, and society as a whole, would be better off if all leagues were unisex.

Yes that's what competitions do. However, leagues separate males and females.Kobun Heat said:
Why would the scoreboard hurt my "theory"?
btw, that's an inappropriate use of the word "theory".

Give them a large tip. That $50 dollar or so tip is a pretty good incentive to do a good job.Do The Mario said:

Because unless Tiger Woods really screws up (which going by some of his performances is certainly possible), all the women will be clustered at the bottom.Hammy said:
btw, no it's not.
There is a separate league for women because that is what they would want though some may have to go a round about way to realize it.
Say women would want to be let in to the male league. So they are. Well then men will cry discrimination and want to also be let into the female league. So they are. Men start winning both leagues. women that don't like men dominating the sport will spin off and create a female only league. Men will cry foul and wana be let in, so the women will say fine, we'll stop joining your league if you get the hell out of ours. And so we are back where we started. Might as well save the time and never try it to begin with.

Then the women would lose the competition. What's wrong with that? They can play with men in leagues with lower skill levels.
For the word theory: I never claimed that this is supported by strong scientific evidence. If anything, it's below a hypothesis.

Nah Screw in $20 student cut all the way, I dont know why they call it a student cut when its $.50 cheaper.
Now that we have derailed the thread! :lol
You can't escape the fact that in most sports -- golf included -- part of the "skill" has to do with physical strength and endurance. Further, the physical differences between men and women is a FACT -- you can't separate skill and sex cleanly, as you'd like to do:Hammy said:

So, there you have it -- even though it's smaller than in some species, sexual dimorphism is a reality in humans. Further, the 15% is likely to be an average value -- I wouldn't be surprised if, in elite athletes, the discrepancy in capability is larger.
Discrimination when there are real, SIGNIFICANT differences is not a bad thing -- it's a practical reality.

OK, I really ought to be more specific. I meant skill and strength and whatever else. In other words, they should be separated by whatever they have (besides their gender). I just finished an essay on gender differences that made me sound like some kind of man-pig. Perhaps this is my way of saying sorry.

On This topic there is a transsexual that plays Stare league 3 hockey against some of my Girl friends. S/he is absolutely hopeless but its more the precedent it sets, I could dress up as a woman and go play first grade womens sport. This shouldnt be allowed in any sport with the exception of lawn bowls.
I've never quite understood the differences between mens and womens golf...
Is it that the women just get er... crappier scores in general, even with the distance advantage afforded by the ladies line, or is it just that small distance advantage that makes it easier for them to post scores on par with men?
Because while I don't know much about golf... it seems to me that the small distance advantage is compensated for by club choice... most people switch to a medium distance club on the second or third swing... why don't women just stick with a longer range club?
I guess it's because the longer range clubs have less accuracy...

When all things are even (same hole, same conditions, same tee, same club), men simply hit the ball longer then women. Don't know what the average outdistance would be, but I'd suspect 50 to 60 yards. There's simply no way to make that up.
Obviously it's very hard for some people to understand, based on this dumb fuck decision.

depends on how much "willie" is left after surgery.
25% or less: you;re good to go bang her
37.5-50 % : you're close to the line
62.5-75% : you're not the flaming variety
75-100: i hope you're the man in the relationship.
