'We should complain' - that is all I ever hear from lady golfers.  Complaining about being held up by male golfers - even though the ladies play only half the course!!!!!!

I think you need to narrow it down.  The rules go to the www.usga.org website.  Maybe you should look at the changes in golf clubs or the latest big move in golf www.playgolfamerica.com   You can find more information on the golf 20/0 website.  I have several on my blog roll.  All the so called golf industry leaders have developed some programs to promote golf to the masses.  You can find all the details on those sites.  This week is a week long promotion for women's golf.  They have another promotion called bring your daughter the golf course, and last month was the free golf lesson month.  You may have seen the TV adds with MLB, NBA, NFL and actors promoting golf.

In 1944, Hope Seignious, Betty Hicks and Ellen Griffin founded and incorporated the Women'sProfessional Golf Association (WPGA). At that time, the newly formed WPGA was struggling untilWilson Sporting Goods came to the rescue in 1948. In addition, marketing director Fred Corcoranwas brought in to help keep women's golf in the public eye.\nTHE 1950'S\n\nThe LPGA Tour is founded in 1950 and chartered in 1951. A handful of pioneering womenmake the fledgling LPGA Tour their "labor of love" by administering the tournaments whilecompeting in them at the same time for little or sometimes no financial reward.\n\n* Patty Berg is elected the LPGA's first president, and she is later succeeded in that role byLouise Suggs.\n\n* By 1952, the LPGA boasts a schedule of 21 events -- nearly three times the number oftournaments held just two years before.\n\n* LPGA Founder, Charter, and Hall of Fame member Betty Jameson donates the Vare Trophy to the LPGA Tour in 1952 in honor of women's amateur great Glenna Collett Vare. The Vare Trophy recognizes the player with the lowest scoring average at the end of each season.\n\n* The players of that early era greatly contribute to the success of the LPGA. Babe Zaharias,Peggy Kirk, Patty Berg, Louise Suggs, Marilynn Smith and Betsy Rawls add the individualflare needed to escalate interest in the LPGA.\n\n* The LPGA Teaching Division, renamed the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional (T&CP) Division in 1992, is founded in 1959.\n\n* The LPGA Tour prize money reaches $200,000 in 1959.

It doesn't say much for YA that they maintain categories for curling, handball, and darts, and ignore running and other T&F events.  \n\nYou can tell the nerds running this site don't know much about sports - thousands of categories for travel and tech, yet the sports section is pretty much terrible.

Y E S! If the shoe were on the other foot and womens pro golf tournaments were open to male players, the WOMEN on the tour would soon go broke.\n\nAs with most sports, women golfers cannot compete on an equal playing field with male golfers? And golf people know this, otherwise women's tee boxes would not be where they are and have been for at least 75 years; as much as 100 yds ahead of the mens tees.

Because the best women in the world would lose to a good male college team.\n\nnitemere11, there aren't any women good enough to play in the major leagues.  If there were, baseball would jump all over the opportunity.  Calling people sexist because they speak the truth is ignorant.

Subscription to any famous golf magazine for a year (Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, etc) would be nice.  A USGA membership would be cool too.

I think you are confusing Yahoo with Google.\n\nI have seen many questions on here that have been posted that are racist, bigotted and they were allowed on. Is sports a topic?\n\nI guess I would have to see the questions.

Yahoo doesn't do year-to-year leagues like that. Someone will have to create a new league and invite the people from last year's league.

If a woman qualifies by one of the prescribed rules, she will get to play.   For example, if Michelle Wie had won the USGA Amateur event that she entered last year, she would have qualified.  She didn't win, so she didn't qualify.  Now that she has turned pro, she would have to qualify a different way.

I am a woman and may be the only one who agrees with you.  I think the gals like Michelle Wie are trying to challenge themselves at the ultimate level- against the men.  I am not happy that sponsors of the PGA and Nationwide events are giving them invites- this takes away from the men players that maybe have conditional status on either tour but have worked hard through Q school and such and really deserve the spot.  Men are not allowed on the LPGA (nor would they want to play on it- less money-etc...) but it is more the principal.  But the PGA ONLY cares about TV ratings... so they will pay whatever to have the crowds.  Anyway- sorry to my fellow sisters!

Talking about men AND women teams vrs eachother?\n\n^ NO. NCAA players have one goal of being good enough to get drafted into the NBA therefor playing with women would only eliminate chances of real competition to be scouted with. Playing girls isn't fair to the guy being physically better or the girl not being able to match the physical attributes.\n\nIf you're asking to make one huge league for a womans league, and a mens, then why? What would be the point? The conferences of long history of tradition. Like the SEC for big southern schools. The ACC for atlantic coast schools. If you follow Basketball you know know better.
