Gender divide????? June 28, 2006, 9:24 pm

by CLM
Come on, Jennifer, get real! Why just refer to Paula Creamer? What about all those other cases where male players have admitted on their own volition to having an extra club, or the ball having moved etc during tournaments, and accepted the penalties? Have you really forgotten about these cases or have you just chosen to ignore them because they do not fit into the theme for your article? Of course women cheat too! It's not about gender; it's simply about one's own ego and one's own ability to continue to abide by the rules notwithstanding the negative effect on one's ego. I have played with many women players who for some reason can't count when it comes to the number of strokes they have taken, and who absolutely beam when they are told they can have the putt. It's no coincidence that these are also the rather competitive women. I've also played with men who insist on putting out even in friendly tournaments where the rules include gimmes (yes, to speed up play). Women are more honest than men? Get real!!

I am surprised I read this and even more that I am commenting. The writer started to make some good points but then almost completely lost her credibility when she by implication compared Paula Creamer, a professional, to male golfers in general.
Not credible and not professional writing.

though , i can understand that some discriminatory attitudes may exist against women golfers , yet , in your entry , don'yt you think , you have only shifted the focus of discriminationfrom women to men . don't you think , that instead of making gender comparisons , it is vital to remove gender disparities itself.

you can't say that men cheat in golf . just because they have adifferent approach to the game , it does'nt mean that they cheat . gender differences are located in the brain. you cannot impose cultural and behavioral stereotypes upon them.

Jennifer--
Did you ever read my take on this?

There was a She-Said article, too, but I can't seem to find the link.
