The Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St. Andrews is no longer just for men.
The R&A became the latest golf club to end years of male-only exclusivity on Thursday when its members voted overwhelmingly in favor of inviting women. The vote was effective immediately.
"I can confirm that The Royal & Ancient Golf of St. Andrews is now a mixed membership club," R&A secretary Peter Dawson said in a statement.
Dawson said more than three-quarters of the club's 2,500 members worldwide voted, with 85 percent in favor. It was the first time in the R&A's 260-year history that members were allowed to vote by proxy at the annual business meeting.
The members also voted to fast-track a "significant" number of women to join in the next few months. The R&A did not say how many women would be invited, though previous reports indicated it could be as many as 15.

Probably just a few more months and they will let the black folks in.

So do we now change the name of the sport to GALA?

I don't see what the big deal is with having a men's-only club.
