A good golfing friend of mine, Aileen Simpson, became the first-ever female club captain at Brockenhurst Manor Golf Club in Hampshire earlier this year. For a traditional club with a relatively old membership demographic this was seen as really progressive and a big step forward for women’s equality at the club.
It also sent out a signal to other, more archaic clubs around the country, that times are changing and that as a society in general we now have to embrace equality in all its guises.
