Any movement on the tranny issue was always going to be for the benefit of women. I do find it funny that this is about golf. I'm not that familiar with the sport, but my understanding is that it's less about raw strength and more about having the skill to know how hard and what angle to hit the ball at. Yeah, we know men are more competent than women at pretty much everything, but it's funny to see these organizations implicitly admitting that. It's like having separate chess tournaments for women then banning trannies from them.

Probably the biggest difference is that women's tees are significantly closer to the flag than men's tees are, therefore they don't need to be able to drive as far.

That said, the further and more accurately you can hit your first shot(s), the easier your next shot will be. And men are, unsurprisingly, able to hit farther and more accurately than women.

This.

There is around a 50-60 yard difference (around 26%) difference in length for men vs women. When you combine this with the women’s tee boxes being significantly closer to the hole, allowing a man to play on the women’s tour would be a massacre.

For those who don’t play golf, the longer you hit your tee shot on any hole that isn’t reachable in 1 shot (which is basically just the par 3 holes, and a few short par 4’s), the shorter your second “approach” shot into the green (that’s where you see people putting the ball into the hole) is. This makes a huge difference because the longer a shot has to be, the less accurate it will be.

It gets even worse when you consider the following. On a 420 hard hole, If I am 320 off the tee, and that leaves me a 100 yards to the hole, and a woman is 250 off the tee, leaving 170 to the hole, we are now looking at: me pitching (a closer range, more accurate style of shot) a wedge close into the hole, vs a weaker woman still having to cover 170 yards, which is not only longer in general, but also takes her way more club to cover. She’d need something like a 4 or 5 iron (significantly more club, to hit a significantly less accurate) full swing to land the ball somewhere (probably not close), on the green.

Basically, being long confers tremendous advantage, not just in being able to hit the ball further, but in making all subsequent shots closer, and thus allowing you to be more accurate. Here’s a chart of how much longer men are than women.. For the layman, just look at the last “carry” column. That will be how far the ball is moving in the air, before striking the ground, and rolling.

TLDR, as with almost everything else, natutre/God has provided men with bodies that are dramatically more adept at anything physical. It’s not anything to be “sad” about, as nature is not concerned with our concept of “fairness” at all. It just is what it is, and we separate our sports for good fucking reason.

The PGA was forced to admit women players into their tournaments a few times. Funny how it’s always a one way street.

That is the problem. Women spaces are sort of being defended, because men cannot be women, but men's spaces are not, because women can still be men. Hence the girl bosses crap being pushed. At this point I think the pushback will fizzle out amongst the normies. Too much has already been lost for us to just go back to 80s leftism.

They weren't forced. They gave sponsors exemptions to those female golfers.

The men's tour is an open tour and women are welcome to try to qualify. They just aren't good enough so they don't bother.

They were forced, those female golfers were allowed to play despite the women’s league. They might not have openly admitted it, but having only one gender segregated league says otherwise

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you. Which instances are you talking about specifically?

Because female players like Annika Sorenstam were given sponsor's invites. Every PGA Tour event is sponsored by a company. The sponsor usually gets 6 invites that they can hand out to whoever they want. Usually it's a mix of young up and comers and well known older players who have fallen off a bit bit still have fan appeal.

I've never heard of a tournament being forced to accept a female player. None have even qualified to be eligible for a PGA Tour event lol so they have to rely on sponsor invites.

What do you think would happen if the pga denied a female sponsor player because there’s the LPGA for women? They are forced, not by policy but by rabid feminists that demand access to male spaces and would burn down the PGA if they acted the exact same as the LPGA.

The PGA Tour can't deny it because it's in the contract they signed.

You're barking up the wrong tree here.

Why did they sign the contract? Again it’s magical that one league is for both and the other is for women only. This is universal with every professional league currently.

My understanding is women's tees are nearer and more inline with the green than the men's tees.

Will still let the trans who claim they didn't go through male puberty compete in the female league.

Yeah I don't know why people are acting like this is a win for sanity.

How do they intend to require proof that someone didn't go through puberty? Penis check? Medical records?

This is them trying to appease both sides and failing because when they rubber meets the road they'll cave.

Yes, the article itself keeps refering to a man as ''she''.

More like the revolution turned up the heat too fast and some frongs noticed and even escaped the pot. They will keep turning it up but not as fast in the future
