JB called golf the great equalizer. I both agree and disagree with that statement. I think it can be for men and women who know each other in the sense that it allows us to play a sport on equal terms, but in other ways, women are still 2nd class citizens out there. Many men would prefer we not be out there. For men, I think it's very difficult to be a newbie golfer when you're playing with experienced golfers. I don't think a lot of them handle it well because they feel frustrated. In terms of a disparity in income - I think people are equal on the course, but probably not once they reach the 19th hole. So - in theory - yes I agree. In practice - I'm not so sure.
