So he hasn't had the full nip/tuck yet! Then how could he be playing womens events?

I had an interesting conversation with a few Wynnum members about this during a round out there. General consensus was that they were not sure what sort of membership etc should be applied.

Not too sure of the details, except this has happened in Adelaide and this dude/ dudette could really play. Started playing in the womans open events and winning. Hitting the ball as far as a man must really help from ladies tees.

In the meantime Dasher could wear a kilt until he is eligible to be a lady member. Years ago we had a member take legal action against the club when he was refused membership as an associate member. His legal counsel forgot to mention that associate membership only applied to females. The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 gave females the right to become full members of golf clubs,where men and women have membership, with the same voting rights as the men with the exception that they cannot play in men's competitions.
