Girls are allowed to join the Boy Scouts. Boys not allowed to join Girl Guides.

Claire Cohen, spokesman for Girlguiding UK, said: 'The young man turned up unexpectedly at the location. He was spoken to by a person who was responsible for a younger age group.
'The Rangers leader had no knowledge of this and would have given him the same message but might have used a slightly more 'teen-friendly' approach to explain to him why we are a girl-only space.'
She added: 'Our young members, whom we frequently consult, have repeatedly told us enjoying a safe girl-only space is one of the things they value most about their guiding experience.
'Throughout our 100 years we have always maintained this safe girl-only space for our members.
'We strongly believe that in today's world there remains a vital role for such a space, where girls can be themselves during a formative time in their lives without the pressures of having boys around.'

Too bad boys aren't offered similar opportunities.

Outdated I suppose. However I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a gender specific club (and I'm a leftie).

If golf wasn't such a shit sport for wankers I'd applaud this move. Women stick their beaks into too much and it's a good idea to have a place men can escape all their bobbins. Golf though? As soon as someone tells me they play golf I immediately hate them.

Where are these places that women stick their beaks into Nibble ?
Pubs ? Football matches ? Maybe cinemas ?

This is all to do with health & safety. The car park at Muirfield is really small and it is dangerous for women to attempt reverse parking in confined spaces.

Taxi!.......

Anyway. Great tournament so far. Some great starts and some awful ones. I doubt the green speeds have ever been this fast in Scotland.
