“SEX AVAR” IN GOLF.

CONQUESTS MADE BY WOMEN. The “sex war” in British golf clubs is slowly drawing to a peaceful end — with women as unquestioned victors, says the London correspondent of a Sydney paper. Slowly, but insidiously, women have broken down the barriers of men’s clubs in England during the past 10 years. Now the Royal St. George’s, at Sandwich, is the only one of the more prominent clubs which still retains an exclusively masculine membership. 1 The most notable conquest bv the women in the “war” was that in causing the Royal Wimbledon Golf Club to open its doors to fair golfers, after withstanding assault for 67 years. Most of the clubs are admitting women on three different types of membership—full membership, associate and five-day membership—the last being by far the most popular.
