DALLAS (AP)— When Judy
Smith joined a country club a few
years ago, she tried to get week
end tee times but was always told
none were available.
“Dumb me, I assumed that in
the ’90s I would get whatever tee
time I requested,’’ recalled the
former insurance executive, who
had joined Prestonwood Country
Club through her company.
“I talked to a few of the other
women members and they told me,
‘You’ll never get a tee time on
Saturday or Sunday because that’s
when the good ol’ boys play,”’
Smith, who is now president of the
Dallas Women Executives’ Golf
Association, told The Dallas
Morning News.
Although many country clubs
have admitted minorities as mem
bers, some still bar women from
prime tee times and grills and
either deny them admittance or
offer “secondary” memberships.
Two of the most expensive and
traditional clubs, Dallas’
Northwood Club and Brook
Hollow Country Club, offer full
memberships only to men.
Women may join with husbands
Dumb me, I
assumed that in the
’90s I would get
whatever tee time I
requested.”
Judy Smith
former insurance executive
or other male family members.
The most expensive club in
town, Dallas’ Preston Trail Golf
Club, with a $75,000 initiation fee,
admits men only.
Limited tee times, men-only
restaurants and other such poli
cies hark back to an era when
many women weren’t part of
the workforce. But now — with
76 percent of women working
outside the home and many
needing to conduct business
the way men do — some find
themselves still shut out.
“The old standard was men
worked and women didn’t and the
men should have priority on the
weekends,” said Will Baker, an
investment adviser and former
board member at Dallas Athletic
Club in Mesquite. “That’s all
changed, we recognized that, and
we made changes.”
Dallas Athletic Club now has
unrestricted tee times on its two
golf courses.
Women are now the fastest
growing group of golfers in the
United States. More than 5 million
American women play golf, and
about 40 percent of new players
are women, the National Golf
Foundation reports.
“This is 1997, not 1967,” said
Brenda Dickey, who works in sales
and is a member of Canyon Creek
Country Club in Richardson.
“You’re looking at a situation that
has not changed dramatically
since 1968, when I joined this
club.”
Prestonwood Country Club
owner Vance C. Miller, a real
estate executive, and other club
officials declined to comment on
club policies.
Two added to Boxing Hall of Fame
CANASTOTA, N.Y. (AP) — The International Boxing
Hall of Fame on Sunday enshrined one of the ring’s gold
en boys and a promoter many say has tarnished the sport
indelibly.
Charismatic Sugar Ray Leonard, a world champi
on in five different weight classes, and flamboyant
promoter Don King were among 13 people who took
their place alongside boxing’s greatest.
True to their reputations, Leonard gushed with
brief thanks for past champions and the fans who
made him one of the sport’s most popular boxers;
King, meanwhile, spoke for 30 minutes, giving trib
ute to Muhammad All before lampooning his critics
and promoting his upcoming fights.
“This is not a personality contest. ... This is some
thing where you recognize what people achieve, what
they do,” said King, who, despite his controversial
image, received a standing ovation from the nearly
5,000 fans gathered for the installation ceremony.
Similarly, fans stood for Leonard’s induction.
“What you people don’t understand or realize is
that all the former champions, including myself, you
don’t know how much love we feel because now we
have a second home here. That’s what it’s all about,”
Leonard said. “This is the most prestigious award in
my entire life.”
Also inducted was former light heavyweight cham
pion and 1956 Olympic silver medalist Jose Torres, who
admitted being nervous over “the biggest thing that has
ever happened to me in boxing.”
Torres said boxing was not only a physical compe
tition but “a contest of character and intelligence.”
He called it an “imperfect” sport and said more
needed to be done to give all boxers a stronger, inde
pendent voice.
The other 10 inductees were enshrined posthu
mously. With this year’s induction, the Hall of Fame
has 178 members in four categories: modern, old-
time, pioneers and non-participants.
The inductees were chosen by a panel of 142 box
ing writers and historians from the United States and
nine other countries. Although boxers must be
retired for five years to be eligible, a loophole in the
rule allowed Leonard’s election this year even
though he has resumed his boxing career.
Leonard, a 40-year-old grandfather, came out of a
six-year retirement to fight Hector “Macho”
Camacho in March. Camacho battered Leonard,
stopping him in five rounds.
With an electrifying style, Leonard first captured the
public’s imagination when he won a gold medal at the
1976 Olympics in Montreal.
Leonard went on to win world titles in five weight
classes — welter, junior middle, middle, super middle
and light heavy — amidst several short-lived retire
ments. His record stands at 36-3-1, with 25 knockouts,
and includes victories over Wilfred Benitez, Roberto
Duran, Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler.
While Leonard was a boxing darling, King has
been both glorified and vilified during his 30-year
career in which he has promoted over 300 champi
onship fights, including Ali and Joe Frazier’s “Thrilla
in Manila,” and the “Rumble in the Jungle” between
Ali and George Foreman.
Greer
continuesU
NL show
Rangers beat up
on Padres, 7-4
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -
Rusty Greer continued his one-
man show against National
Leaguers, driving in the go-
ahead run and scoring another
as the Texas Rangers beat the
San Diego Padres 7-4 Sunday
night.
Bobby Witt (8-3) ended a
three-game losing streak to win
for the first time since May 20
and John Wetteland pitched the
ninth for his 15th save.
Texas wrapped up the first
weekend of inter
league play with a
3-1 record
against the
NL, and
Greer
was the
main reason.
He went 9-
for-12 against San
Diego and San
Francisco with two doubles,
two homers and four walks. On
Sunday, he was l-for-3, hit by a
pitch, stole a base and made a
nice catch against the wall in
left field.
Greer’s first-inning strikeout
ended a streak of getting on
base in nine straight plate
appearances. Since
Wednesday, he’s reached base
in 17 of his last 20 tries.
Witt gave up eight hits and
four runs, only two earned, in
seven innings. All the runs
came in the third and fourth
innings, and he faced just nine
batters over his last three
innings. He struck out five and
walked one.
Andy Ashby (2-3) gave up
seven runs, six earned, and 10
hits in five innings. He was acti
vated from the disabled list
before the game after missing 25
games nursing a sore right elbow.
San Diego went up 1-0 in the
third inning when John
Flaherty doubled and scored on
consecutive grounders to sec
ond base, but Juan Gonzalez
singled home Damon Buford
and Clark drove in Greer to
make it 2-1 in the bottom of the
Mitchell

Rodman’s only real contribu
tion to the series was reminding
the public and sports enthusi
asts in particular how pleased
we will be when he finally hangs
up his tired sideshow act and
fades into retirement, which in
all likelihood will be next season.
Rodman’s first incarnation
was that of The Worm, a Motor
City rebound hound during the
late ’80s. Even then, Rodman’s
gazelle-like gait and uncanny
ability to be where the ball was
the minute it clanged off the
iron made him an interesting
figure on a team that already
had multiple personalities.
Like the smooching Isiah
Thomas, the “Microwave”
Vinnie Johnson and the baddest
of the bad, Bill Laimbeer,
Rodman’s enigmatic presence
enthralled audiences and drew
appreciative reviews from fans
who enjoyed watching his hus
tle and air-tight defense.
Then, somewhere in the early
’90s, Rodman went AWOL from
the Pistons and, some say, the
world in general. The turning
point may have been when his
whereabouts were unknown for
two days, and he was eventually
found in a gym with a gun close
by, pondering suicide.
Seemingly from that point
on, Rodman made the decision
to live his life the way he want
ed, virtually unchecked by any
voice of reason or common
sense. As his off-court exploits
drew paparazzi in greater and
greater numbers, Rodman’s on-
the-court shenanigans grew
increasingly violent.
Always a passionate player,
Rodman began collecting tech
nical fouls by the bushel, and
his constant provocation and
inciting of opposing players
began going further and further
over the line.
Consumed with self-impor
tance, Rodman lost the abfiity to
be a team player, at one point
kicking off his shoes in the middle
of a game as a San Antonio Spur.
It was expected that the pair
ing of Rodman with the no-non
sense Jordan would curb some
of his antisocial behavior, but a
head-butted referee and kicked
cameraman both would testify
against that notion.
The final straw may have
come last week when Rodman
went so far as to criticize Utah’s
Mormon population in rather
colorful terms. Now, no team in
the league would take a chance
on a public relations nightmare
like The Worm.
So perhaps, mercifully, this
may be the last we see of the
cross-dressing, self-promoting
thug, at least in this incarnation.
Rodman probably has show-
bizzed himself right out of a job.
The Queen is dead. Long live
the Queen.
Orioles outlast Braves in 10
Camps
Continued from Page 3
“We try to do promotion of the
school, promotion of a lot of the
values of the school within the
framework of the camp,” Lange
said. “We try to get the instructors
to take their campers at some
point over to Rudder Tower to see
the movie.
“Between that and the yell
leaders (making a presentation)
and just being around campus, we
want campers to get a feel for
campus because we want them to
come back and be students.”
And what about a little recruit
ing should these coaches find a
diamond in the rough?
“It has a recruiting aspect
more from an institutional
aspect than a tennis aspect,”
Lange said. “I don’t know that
there has ever been a player
come to camp who has compet
ed for Texas A&M. But I guaran
tee you there’s been a lot of kids
who’ve come to camp who have
come to school here.”
ATLANTA (AP) — The fans
seem to love interleague baseball.
The Atlanta Braves probably have
a different opinion.
Baltimore completed a three-
game sweep of the NL champs on
Sunday when Lenny Webster hit a
two-out, two-run homer in the 10th
inning to give the Orioles a 5-3 victory.
Atlanta has lost seven straight
games to AL teams, going back to
four straight losses against the
Open
Continued from Page 3
“I’d give anything in the
world for a mulligan,” Lehman
said. “It was a shock to look up
and see the ball not going where
I wanted it to go.
“Losing three in a row,”
Lehman said, his voice trailing off
as he thought back over his clos
ing 73. “This is probably the
toughest one. I felt like I had
everything going my way.”
Montgomerie, who finished
third in the 1992 U.S. Open, hung
with Els, his playing partner, by
making seven consecutive pars
on the back nine with some
clutch putting.
He saved his par with a 12-foot
putt on No. 10 and made a 10-
foot par save on No. 14. His
bogey on No. 17 came when he
pushed his 6 iron from 203 yards
into the right greenside rough.
He chipped to 5 feet but the
magic ran out, and he missed.
Montgomerie had a 25-footer
on No. 18 that could have tied Els,
but the difficult breaking putt
never had a chance and he fin
ished with a 69.
“If I knock on the door enough,
as I seem to be doing, especially in
this tournament, the door will
open one day,” Montgomerie
said. “I just got to be patient.”
The youthful Els has now won
four times on the PGA Tour,
including his two U.S. Opens. He
also had a great chance to win the
1995 PGA Championship at
Riviera when he took the lead into
the final round, but he played too
conservatively and saw
New York Yankees in last
October’s World Series. And the
prospects for breaking the streak
don’t look good. The Braves face
Roger Clemens on Monday when
they play Toronto.
The three-game series between
the two best teams in baseball
made a compelling case for inter
league play. All three games were
sellouts, and all three were tightly
contested.

Montgomerie and Elkington
sprint past him.
His swing is regarded as one
of the best in golf and his touch
around the greens is as deft as
his power. His accuracy off the
tee is awesome.
Els, in his brief career, also has
established a reputation of being
at his best when it means the
most. He has now finished 12th or
higher 11 times in the four Grand
Slam events.
At his tender age and with his
ample ability, Els should emerge
as one of the golfers who will
keep Tiger Woods from dominat
ing golf.
Woods, who never seemed to
find the patience needed to win
the U.S. Open this week as he
sought to follow up on his Masters
victory, finished with a 72 on
Sunday and was at 6 over par, 10
strokes behind Els, ending talk of
a Grand Slam bid.
Winning all four majors in the
same year could be a difficult task
for Woods — or anyone — while
Els is around.
