No Women Allowed in Portmarnock Golf Club

Posted on 05 November 2009 by Brian

No one ever thought that gender issues could go as far as affecting the various golf clubs known today. But apparently Portmarnock Golf Club is applying a no woman member policy which is backed up by a Supreme Court ruling. Why bar women from the sport or from wanting to be a member? Well as far as the club is concerned, it coincides with their principles that of which is to cater to only a specific gender which are males in this case. Well, I guess some female golfer (like Michelle Wie and Annika Sorenstram) should just look elsewhere for golf memberships. That is, if they are looking for one!
