This is the first golf forum I've been on that had more than 2 women, which is nice. I find men's behavior around women on the golf course fascinating. It's an odd combination of sexism and chivalry. I've had men question whether it's too cold for me to be playing or refuse to join our group as an add-on - opting to wait for a group of men. My mother said in the 70's, she'd get to the club and men would ask if she had finished her housework - not my father, other men. Sometimes, if they don't know me, they'll assume that we take gimmes too and knock my ball back before I get a chance to stop them. I've also noticed that men prefer to be the ones to pull the pin, have fished a ball out of the water for me and walked over from the next hole to help me find a ball. What is up with the Jekyll & Hyde behavior?
