This anecdote tackles two important themes in sports and politics: racism and sexism. How is the state of gender equality in golf, compared to other sports? Have you witnessed any particular improvements within the last one or two decades? ORIN STARN: Golf has a peculiar history in relation to gender equality. It was one of the first sports that women were allowed to play, along with tennis, croquet and other more "lady-like" games, in the 19th century, at a time when women were still banned from more "manly" sports, like football and wrestling. It was mostly upper-class white women, to be sure, and yet it was still a change from the past, when sports were viewed entirely as the province of men. The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) was the first women's professional league in any sport, decades ahead of the Women National Basketball Association (WNBA) or women's soccer leagues.

The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods’ current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of ‘professionalism’ in golf coaches. Key words: Altruism, Coach Education, Ethics, Evidence-Based Medicine, Golf Instruction, Professional Golfers’ Association, Reflective Practice, Scholarship, Scientism, Self-Awareness, Specialized Knowledge, Spirituality, Trust, Values INTRODUCTION The Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) of America, which is the world’s largest working sports organisation with currently 27,000 members, was formed in 1916 [1]. The mission of The PGA of America is to promote the employment and involvement of the game of golf and to contribute to its growth by providing services to golf professionals, consumers and the golf industry [2]. A Code of Ethics was added to the Constitution in 1931, and in 1933 membership required a three-year apprenticeship.
