Golfers resign from club over ‘comments about breastfeeding mother’

Two women golfers have resigned and another is facing a disciplinary hearing for “unbecoming behaviour” over comments allegedly made about a mother breastfeeding in the clubhouse.

The male Seniors’ Captain has also stepped down in solidarity with the three after an incident at Whetstone Golf Club, Leicestershire, in which one female member is claimed to have said “it’s enough to put you off your food”, while in the hearing of a group of mothers.
