Women's Rights In Golf

As a sports fan, I was really disgusted watching the R&A tell the media that women's rights in golf shouldn't be compared with racism, and discrimination. Because to me, its all of the above and it's simply wrong. We live in a world today where people live freely, make their own choices, and choose to live their own dreams. There was a time when people did discriminate, and did not allow women the same rights as men. But, those days are long gone and whoever is still living in the past better start changing or those people are going to have problems in the future. For example, in the golf world there are still many golf clubs that don't allow women as members. Though, the LPGA tour has been active for many years and is more popular than ever. There are more and more young girls who are now looking up to their idols; such as Paula Creamer, Christie Kerr, Inbee Park, as well as all the other dedicated LPGA golfers. My point is by not allowing women to be members to every golf club, it  shines a dark light on the sport itself. Sooner or later, the media are going to blow up the issue so much that it's going to create major controversy in the future if something isn't done soon. We live in a world now where this kind of stuff is unacceptable and pitiful. As times move on, you would think the sports society would learn and evolve the proper way. However, in actuality the sport of golf still doesn't respect the rights of their fellow women athletes. Who knows how long it will be? All I can say is that there still is many golf clubs around the world who are not even willing to debate the issue. What a shame.
