Sherwood Country Club's Caitlyn Dilemma
/You have to admit, this is one few club boards are equipped to handle: longtime Sherwood Country Club member Bruce Jenner transitioning to Vanity Fair cover girl Caitlyn, meaning she will no longer having access to the men-only bar and grill room he enjoyed when he was Bruce. 
I know what you're thinking. Bigger issues in this world alert! For instance, think of all the Caitlyn’s of the planet whose name has just become synonymous with the world’s most famous Rene Russo wannabe look alike? Still, as TMZ laid out in this report, the Sherwood board has at least until December to decide, since the course is closed for remodeling.
For starters, the main dining room and bar are male only. They're actually attached to the men's locker room and women are not allowed. The women's restaurant is way more scaled down ... in other words, not nearly as nice.
Our Sherwood sources say the board will enforce the rules, which means the camaraderie Bruce shared with the other members will be greatly impeded now that she's Caitlyn.
TMZ says Caitlyn can appeal to the board.
Oh to be a fly.
Frankly, I’m just wondering what she’s going to do with all those logoed golf shirts?
**TMZ continues to pursue the many particulars of Bruce Jenner's transition to Caitlyn Jenner, with a special interest in Jenner's golf game. Their latest shocker: Caitlyn can't carry Bruce's 5.3 index over to a new golf handicap after having transitioned to female.
Bruce was a fantastic golfer -- his average golfing score was only slightly above par. In other words, if par was 72, Bruce's average was around 77. In golfer's lingo, he had a handicap of 5.3. A handicap is an important status symbol in the sport. Here's the problem ... the U.S. Golf Association won't allow Catilyn to use Bruce's handicap. The USGA says it's now irrelevant what Bruce achieved and Caitlyn has to start fresh, based on what she does from this point forward.
Having trouble picturing TMZ reaching out to the USGA to nail down this earthshattering news, I did the same and received this from the USGA:
A player should establish a Handicap Index based on his or her new gender to accurately reflect his or her current playing ability. The one silver lining in all this?
