THere is an intriguing comment in there which is true. The golf ball doesn't care if it is being hit by a girl or by a boy. To be honest, I can't believe that we are having these discussions anymore. It would seem to me to be a pretty open and shut case. How many high school football teams, have girls playing on them all over the country. Granted, it's not seen in every school, but it's common enough that it isn't ground breaking anymore. There are even colleges with girls playing on the team now. If the school had a girls team, then I would say that is where she should be playing, and I would even temper that. If she is capable of hitting from the same tees as the boys and able to compete, let her play with the boys and school them. I didn't catch in the article if it said what tees she is playing from, so I'll assume that she is playing from the same tees, I don't think it said. Sounds to me like a few coaches are getting tired of their prized stud getting stomped on by this girl and so now they want to file a complaint. The fact of the matter is that most school golf teams have a wide and varied skill level from the one or two stars who are scratch to single handicappers and may have a chance to a scholarship all the way to the kid who is happy to get the ball off of the tee. That being said, the fact that she is female is irrelevant. There will be a handicap and skill set that she will match up with. Just like the girl playing football with the boys, my only caveat would be that she hit from the same set of tees. You Go Girl!!
