So if they said "you must have a penis to play," rather than "no women" then you would be okay with that? Because at that point, it's just a rule that everyone needs to follow, and if you're unable to follow that rule, you can't play. It's not designed to keep anyone out, just to protect the integrity of penises and golf. Right?

Any way it's spun, the end-game is the same. Discrimination is discrimination even when it's dressed up in less discriminatory language.
