Abstract:
The number of women golfers is increasing statewide.

They find it difficult in getting a Saturday tee time and in getting a sandwich in the \"men's\" grill. Locker rooms are not always equal to men's, and awkward red tee placements make it difficult to reach the greens without going into front bunkers.
