Got to be a bullsh1t story that Bob has picked up on his shoe trawling through rightard conspiracy sites. Melbourne City Council controls the tee length at golf clubs - source?

Winding up credulous old rightards with woke horror stories must amuse Reece.

Ladies, you must tee off from the men's tees, by order of the Fuhrer. And transexuals will be prowling about your dressing rooms in the nude - excuse the penises. Heil Woke!

How many courses do they control? Enough to see this sweep across the golfing world or just one or two?

They should leave the 'ladies tees' as is...but not make a fuss if a woman hits off the back tees.
I always hit off the same tees as my husband and my brothers. It saved time and intimidated them. |

Exactly my point. MCC is central Melbourne right? Doubt there are many council golf courses in the area.

The PGA have won the first court ruling with LIV.
Matt Jones and 2 others were removed from the Fedex playoffs for joining Liv. They sued the PGA and wanted reinstatement. The judge ruled that they had no case as there was no hardship seeing that their LIV contracts would give them more money than they would have earned on the PGA tour. The case brought by Mickelson etc will not be heard for several months

Golf to be made more gender-neutral ? If you swing a golf club to hit your balls, you certainly will be gender-neutral.

Good on both of them. No-one has the right to dictate where they can or can't play.
If they are registered members of a PGA, they should be still allowed to play in those tournaments, too. |

They will be allowed to. This will end up like World Series cricket of Superleague. In a few years the war will be over and everyone will be welcome everywhere with open arms. You can take that to the bank.

LIV Golf sellouts bailed on the PGA Tour. Now they want back in?Sally Jenkins https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/08/09/liv-golf-injunction-fedex-cup-playoffs/ Emergency! Emergency! Talor Gooch seeks immediate injunctive relief to prevent “irreparable harm” to the commonplace golf career he himself has harmed. He insists on his right to horn in on $75 million in PGA Tour playoff money and compete on courses groomed to feather-down against a backdrop of bluebird song, even though he defected months ago to scoop up lockboxes of riyals and halalas from bloodcurdling Saudi government sport financiers. He seeks legal remedy for his suffering, before … what? He has to surrender his private gate key at TPC Southwind? Every week, it seems, players such as Gooch — along with the increasingly mangy Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and other deserters to the Saudi golf exhibition circuit — manifest new forms of obliviousness to go with their remorseless greed. These are not millworkers taking on U.S. Steel to champion freedom for the working guy, as their preposterous antitrust lawsuit would make them out to be. They’re dealbreakers who do exactly as they please for profit. They willfully joined a disreputable competitor, knowingly violating the terms of their PGA Tour membership, in exchange for unconscionable bribes. They continue to pleasantly recreate for a living, play for scads of dirty money in pastoral bliss and feed handsomely off a game so undemanding that it’s not the slightest drawback to get fat. Freedom of choice is what they exercised. Norma Raes in gaberdine, they are not. And their legal arguments are spit bubbles blown by conceited airheads. As the great Fran Lebowitz once told Vanity Fair, there is such a thing as an “immoral equation.” An immoral equation, as Lebowitz describes it, is privileged people falsely “equating their lot” with people who are genuinely oppressed. That’s what we have here with these hollow legal claims — an immoral equation. These supposedly oppressed tradesmen charge the PGA Tour is an “monopolist” seeking to restrain them. “The purpose of this action is to strike down the PGA Tour’s anti-competitive rules and practices that prevent these independent-contractor golfers from playing when and where they choose,” a statement asserted last week. First of all, who among the living gets to work, or play, when or where we choose? Second, a monopolist exerts exclusive possession or control of something and prevents others from engaging in it. Nobody has prevented Gooch and his fellow opportunists from plying their trade — just last month they were at Donald Trump’s Bedminster, N.J., course, raking in coin from their bone-sawing backers. So far there have been three Saudi-funded events with $25 million in purses, and Gooch has played in all three, collecting $2.83 million for nine days of golf. That’s $314,000 for every 18 holes, with no cut. As the PGA Tour’s lawyer argues, Gooch and the others simply abandoned the PGA Tour for “a pile of cash.” So it’s some nerve for Gooch, Matt Jones and Hudson Swafford to seek emergency relief and claim the PGA Tour meanly and without fair warning barred them from this week’s opening event of the FedEx Cup playoffs, the St. Jude Championship, with its $15 million purse. The judge, Beth Labson Freeman, will hear arguments Tuesday afternoon in San Jose. Her opening question should be, what emergency? Gooch and company will have to convince the judge that they didn’t know full well two months ago that suspension was the penalty for betraying fellow PGA Tour players and entering Saudi events that conflict with the business of the tour. They’ll have to convince her that their case has “merits.” They’ll have to persuasively show that they will be injured if they can’t play — and that their injuries would be greater than the injury inflicted on the PGA Tour members who remained loyal and now have to put up with these deceitful jokers trying to cut back in the line. The judge should toss the demand where it belongs: into one of Trump’s overstuffed toilets. And the antitrust suit should be flushed down the same dark pipe. “Despite knowing full well that they would breach Tour Regulations and be suspended for doing so, Plaintiffs have joined competing golf league … which has paid them tens and hundreds of millions of dollars in guaranteed money supplied by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund to procure their breaches,” the PGA Tour’s opposing motion read. “… Plaintiffs now run into Court seeking a mandatory injunction to force their way into the Tour’s season-ending [FedEx Cup] Playoffs, an action that would harm all Tour members that follow the rules.” Since when are contract-breakers deserving of legal relief from the very people they sold out? No wonder loyal veterans are beginning to show disgust for the defectors. Joel Dahmen tweeted: “It sounds like some people want their cake and to eat it [too]. Please stay away in your fantasy land. Sincerely, most tour players.” |

Not only has Dear Sally got in for those golfers signing on for the LIV tournaments, she has not missed Trump in her run down. There's no need to quote the huge post immediately above yours, it apparently makes reading posts difficult for phone users! Edited by Gay3 - 31 Aug 2022 at 11:15am |

I like this line. It's funny because it's true. "They continue to pleasantly recreate for a
living, play for scads of dirty money in pastoral bliss and feed
handsomely off a game so undemanding that it’s not the slightest
drawback to get fat."

I've never really understood how there is so much money in PGA golf. It's can't be from the source other big money sports get most of their money - huge tv contracts - because tv ratings are dismal.

Obviously it’s huge cash, but it’s over 5 years. There is no prizemoney (unless you earn , in this instance $140M) Typically the best players earn more off the course than on it. IF, the PGA hold out for 5 years, then the LIV golfers will have a minimal off course earnings. Rory M earned $18M this year So, if it goes the distance, Rory might still out earn guys on massive retainers, including his off course income.
