Ex PM Gordon Brown: Royal And Ancient's Position An "unacceptable blot on Scotland's traditions of justice for all."

That's what Gordon Brown was quoted as saying by the Scottish Daily Record in a speech at the Scottish parliament festival of politics in Edinburgh Friday.

The Guardian's Severin Carrell also had this quote:

"If the golf club in Augusta can admit women, then shouldn't St Andrews? If they can do it in South Carolina, can we not do it in Scotland?" 

South Carolina, Georgia-schmeorgia. We know what you meant. Those bastions of progressivism to all kind of bleed together.
