A female attribute


Now all men know that women can be moody but put a golf club in their hands and they become moody plus.
Watching the women's golf at Royal Berkdale one is struck by variables which seem to be indicative of nationality, as well as the gender. The Americans are slim and trim honed on the circuit, they come cut out of a design catalogue to catch the eye of any stray billionaire. The Asian women are Samurai shaped with expressionless faces,  heavily made up probably with a billionaire at home. The Scandinavians are fixated and grumpy, slamming their clubs in the bag with a venom and a pent up anger that comes from living in an area that doesn't get enough sun and whisky, un-affordable.
The women's game seems to lack the dynamic of the men's game. They don't have the testosterone of the men's game, they go for it but in a sort of genteel way, plenty of technical skill but no killer instinct to push their bodies where as Captain Kirk would say "no man has been". Perhaps its a question of the pay cheque since they certainly fall far short of the bucks the men make but in a game where there is less physical effort in the contest than say athletics one has to wonder why. Even in bowls, which is nearly all judgement, the women do not feature in the tournaments and once again its the province of men.
Of course over here we are wringing our hands at the moment in the call for more women in Parliament (and for that matter in the board room), there is demand that if the Prime Minister is a man then the Deputy PM 'has to be' a women.
Perhaps its the nature of the political game where the ability to hector and shout is more of a female attribute ?
