I'm curious what that was. PM me if you want.
I think people may have a hard time realizing how upset the 40+ ladies are because maybe they haven't given any thought to what it's like to see tournament after tournament, all year long, offer amateur men's age protected divisions but not amateur women's age protected divisions. There's really only a handful of Supertour events that offer any age protected amateur women's divisions. We already feel excluded. And it's not fair to expect us to have to ask to be included at every tournament. Valerie Jenkins puts it nicely:
Valerie Jenkins said:I think they should ALWAYS offer it. if they don't offer it then no one will ever know if the division could have been (the ladies that would want to play masters may have been turned away because they didn't wanna play "up")..
And then to have Am World's offer only 8 spots that fill in 4 days, it's really too much. There's no way it's accurate to describe us as "equally disappointed" as the men's divisions that already filled. They get to compete all year. Am Worlds is one of very few opportunities each year for us to compete in our division.
I can only imagine what juniors are going through.
