Sexism on the golf course in 2001
2001
Barbara and Bridget got into a
huge row about women’s access to private golf clubs. “We were outed in
the Observer, at the time that was happening, we were getting abusive
phone calls, ‘Fucking lesbians ruining our golf club’, and so on. We
were set upon verbally by an elderly gentlemen who said ‘You should be
at home getting your husband’s dinner on a Sunday, not on the golf
course, damn it!’” That was about six years ago so not that long ago”.
