If I take my teenage grand-daughter to my golf club, perhaps with one or two of her friends, I will need to accompany them through an area where males of many ages in various states of undress are the rule rather the exception. It is unlikely this would be an attractive proposition for the golfers or the young ladies; the rugby club situation may, of course, be different.
