If those people complaining about this being sexist could only turn their attention to the real issues in womens sports instead of this article we would all be better off. Teenagers should be in school and hanging around the beach and not being subjected to grown up pressures. If Michelle was in Thailand she would most likely be a caddy and forced to offer sexual favours to extract a tip. Now that is offensive.

WTF!! Do you have any respect toward other people? I'm Thai and feel upset with your f*cking comment about sexual favours in Thailand. Who the f*ck do you think you are!

Would it be offensive if it was said to / or your mother or daughter. Not everyone finds poor taste as funny and it should not be tolerated.

First off for you to have seriously given thought to publishing this clearly negative, sexest demeaning garbage for all to see you the publishers are at fault.
I'm and black man and have played golf all over the world and I've never seen anything so offensive in golf. It's astonishing that this even made it to press. Ben Wright, a former European Tour player lost his job as a golf analyst several years ago by saying during a live broadcast of womens golf that "women could never be great golfers because they had breast that restrict their swings". This article was clearly in the same vien as that.
Shame on you for allowing Tim's thought's to be read by millions of people around the world.
Now to the real sorry case of a professional journalist. Even if the article was written in jest, it's not funny. His grandmother and mother must and should be ashamed to have raised such a shortsighted, insensitive, immature idiot. I'm sure it baffles their minds how this happened. And what must his daughter(s) think? I'm not good enough to play golf so I must demean myself around men to gain their approval? Not much difference between that and prostitution is it?
There is plenty of blame to go around on this, the writer should be fired without question - don't get me wrong I know he won't, but any publisher worth his salt would stand up and do the right thing, not attach some lame disclaimer at the end of the piece about it "not reflecting the views of management". If you really look at it that is condoning that whole thing. Which I guess sits well with "management". What would "management's" grandmothers, mothers, sisters, wives or daughters think of you or themselves.
And I don't think we need to discuss sensitivity training or just plain professionalism do we?

Anyone who has played enough golf and with enough types of people know there is a large portion of the female golf population that indeed try and accomodate to men too much when playing with them. Too often I see women hurrying their shots and sometimes even skip holes because they fear they'll be too slow. The game would be much more fun to these women if a: they weren't so self conscious and b: men were more accomodating to them.
I should also point out that men spend 5000% more time looking for their ball in the woods over women. I rarely run into a female golfer - aside from beginners - who plays slow. If anything, they need to slow down.

This article is extremely offensive. I don't care if it was meant to be funny, it objectifies women and that is never funny. I thought that we had come farther than this in our society, but apparently we haven't all kept up. This article is not humorous; it only perpetuates stereotypes and the belittling of women. I happened to stumble upon this website, and I surely will not be returning to it as I feel unwelcome as a female golfer.

I told you this guy knows humour. His joke beats Chandler in 'Friends'. However, I was dead wrong that he is popular among women.
