So many women who love the game of golf felt the sting when the World Golf Hall of Fame induction ceremony was staged without Laura Davies Monday at St. Andrews in Scotland.
This wasn’t just about one woman missing out on her big day at the home of golf.
This was about a lot of women seeing that the game is still run by men who aren’t as committed to diversity and inclusivity as they profess to be. That’s what Davies’ empty chair screamed during the induction ceremony.
Yes, women have made a lot of meaningful progress in the game, but somebody ought to put Davies’ empty seat in a display case in the Hall of Fame because it tells the story about women’s still ongoing struggle to find their place in the sport.
