Title: Still Relevant
Product review: This is an excellent summary of the discrimination issues women have faced (and in 2008 that many continue to face) at private, family golf clubs. But the book is somewhat more than that because it compares the treatment of women at private clubs with those playing golf at public and resort courses. The evidence is anecdotal because by their private nature a lot of what goes on at clubs isn't exposed to public scrutiny. Nevertheless, the author manages to create a reasonable picture of what goes on behind the closed gate with respect to women and how their situation has been improved at many clubs in the past 20 years or so. Although clearly on the women's side, the attorney author presents her case in a reasonable, thoughtful manner. Somewhat surprisingly, there is very little other literature on the subject. For anyone dealing with these issues today, this book is probably the best starting point, notwithstanding its age.
