Senior Tournament at Missouri Bluff's Golf Course

Today my husband and I participated in the Senior tournament. I was one of two females playing in the tournament. The other female was part of the 4-some in front of us. My husband and I have played in many tournaments throughout the St. Louis/St. Charles area. Today my husband noticed either on the scorecard or the instruction sheet that all players must hit off the white tees. We asked a worker and were told if that's what was written then that's the rule. So we get on the first hole of play and the female ahead must have said something about the white tees to the group in front of them and one of the guys yelled out "if you want to play with big boys you have to play like a big boy or don't play". I think he is a Bluff's member also. I'm sure some people will read this and think I am whining about not being able to hit off the women's tees. Or that I want to take advantage of being able to hit off the women's tees. This was supposed to be a fun day out with my husband and the last thing I want is an advantage. I just want fair play. I want to be able to compete with male players who are for the most part, naturally stronger than women. I may have out-drove a male player from time to time if driving from the women's tees but it wouldn't be an advantage; it would be an equal chance to drive the same or close to the distance of a male player's drive. Had I known that I was hitting from the white tees, I would not have signed up. I have played in many coed tournaments over the years and women have always been able to use the women's tees. Isn't that what they're for? The company I work for used to have a membership to the Bluffs and I played there with work functions often. Never have women had to drive from the white tees.
I am not a women's rights activist by no means. But if this is now the policy of the Bluffs, it makes me wonder if they don't want female golfers participating in their events. The 2-some playing with us today (men we never met before) were shocked about this also. In my opinion, this was a poor policy set by the Bluff's management.
This is my opinion and if you don't agree then I am sorry. I believe in voicing my opinions using online reviews for both good and bad experiences. Today was in opinion, an unfair experience. The Bluff's is a nice golf course but after today, I have no intention of returning and will share my experience with others. My husband is very disappointed and feels bad that my day wasn't as fun as he hoped it would be or could have been. For you men who disagree with my review, imagine if your (senior) wife or girlfriend were there with you today and were told for the first time ever that today they had to hit from the white tees. I golf because I love it but today I didn't love it.
