Teen golfer placed 1st in golf tournament, denied the trophy because she's a girl

She played from the same tees as everyone else, and her score was allowed to count for her team--but not individually.  Which sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.  What kind of rule is that anyway?
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

This part is worth highlighting purely for the "some people are just awesome" aspect:

Quote:Meanwhile, the male athlete who was awarded first place offered to give his trophy to Nash, saying she had earned it.

She declined but said she appreciated the gesture.

"He came over and said he didn't win the tournament, that I did," she told WPBF. "It was really nice of him and respectful."

Total B.S.

I would ask for a refund for the fee's, if apparently I wasn't in the tournament.

Kudo's for the sportsmanship of the guy trying to give her the trophy though.   He's a bigger man, than those in charge.

I didn't know golf was supposed to be a man only sport. Yeah, real manly to whack a tiny ball across a field. I can kind of understand football, because you're being body slammed by other people, but golf? Really?

Sufferin' jaysus. If they can treat a girl this badly in a golf tournament, imagine how bad it could have been if golf was an actual sport...

I dunno, I can kind of understand. It's the boy's team.

If a boy joined a girl's sports team and won, and he got to go to the girl's championship instead of the girl who was second behind him, I don't think people would like it too much. Understandably. Isn't this a bit of a double standard?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

When I was coaching a JV hockey team they gave me a girl forward.  She was a good skater, not much of a shot but she was a good passer which was something of a joy to behold because all of the boys thought they were Wayne Gretzky and could go end-to-end on every rush.  She worked hard in practice.  Harder than the boys.  I wouldn't have minded having a couple of more. 

Funny incident.  I was standing on the skate sharpening line chatting with the coach of the team we were playing that night and one of the mothers from his team when Kim came walking by and said "which locker room, coach?"  I said "#3" and then saw the look on the mother's face.  I told her "it's a brave, new, world out there!"

Those liquid filled golf balls contain a deadly poison and/or a terrible acid that can dissolve ANYTHING !!!


There is an element of danger to golf that is sadly underappreciated.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
