Yes, Sexism Does Exist in the World
Excerpts from an article in the Daily Mail:
With a handicap of only eight and a pedigree that includes a spell as a professional and a TV appearance with Peter Alliss, she seemed an ideal prospect for membership of the exclusive Wentworth golf club.
After two promising interviews and a few rounds with committee members, Beth White was accepted as a probationary member and looked forward to earning herself a permanent place among the golfing elite of Surrey.
Then they discovered her past . . . It came to the attention of the board that Miss White was also Liz Hoad, former topless model and sometime femme fatale.
Granted, her non-golfing activities were 20 years ago, but for an institution that boasts of being 'a place where people matter and traditions count', it was just too much.
The warm and welcoming letter she had received acknowledging her £684 payment for a three-month probationary membership was replaced with a short, sharp missive saying she had been blackballed because of a single objection....
As well as topless modelling, Miss Hoad had well-documented affairs in the 1980s with the Queen's cousin Lord Lichfield, golfer Seve Ballesteros and racing driver James Hunt.
'He was my first lover and the best I've ever known,' she has said of Ballesteros, while she claimed that she and Hunt made love wearing earphones because he liked to listen to Meat Loaf. Lord Lichfield, she confided, called her 'Little Muffin' because she was 'his tasty bit of crumpet'.
Not, apparently, the sort of biography that fitted in at Wentworth, whose celebrity regulars include Hugh Grant....
Hold it right there. Are we talking about THIS Hugh Grant?
So Hugh Grant is a honored member of this organization, and Beth White/Liz Hoad is not?
Something is wrong here....
