She is upset....she is obv disappointed that she only gets to play 3 rds...not that the reason matters.

It seems as though the main reason to have these two groups of people is that they have the smallest number of entrants allowing both to be on the same course at the same time.
No one is restricted to 3, 4 or 5 rounds. With all of those courses prepared for play, I don't understand why players don't make the effort to play more than the scheduled courses if they're making the effort to travel that far. This goes for BG or any other big event like Worlds where there are more course used than any division can play in competition. The cost of travel to and from the location is usually greater than the entry fee cost so why not take advantage?
That is a crazy statement....the women and old guys are restricted to 3 tourney rds while everyone else gets to play 4.
No it's not. You have a proposition before you like any other tournament. You pay so much, get a player's pack and play so many rounds. You decide if it's worth it or not. What the other divisions pay, get and play is irrelevant.
Tournaments are not about "fair" on an absolute basis but simply the proposition as it pertains to you. If it's not good enough, you choose not to play. If another division you could enter has a more desirable proposition in your eyes, then enter that one. The TD does not have an obligation to do anything other than make the offer and follow through with what they promise by division.
Look, if the event was strictly for women and old guys with the cost and format of those 3 rounds, would she go? That's all that matters. That's what the TD is willing to offer and it appears it also has to do with how many he has on his team, likely most if not all volunteers, to TD the courses.
What you don't seem to understand is the TD is giving you this offer and you have a choice to accept it or reject it. It shouldn't be a controversy or emotional. Simply make the call. The TD does not have responsibility to treat every PDGA member/player equally. It can be hard to do. How come no pro divisions? How come every division doesn't get a final 9 holes or for that matter every player? How come this division is capped at X?
