This will improve, hopefully, the number and the development of female players in this country. </P> <P>With the development of the co-ed tour, you now have the option to compete at a high level with men and women. Maybe women aren't ready to make this break from the 'norm' of playing with their Open team yet and the difficultly this year is that many of the top women are committed to their co-ed teams for Hawaii.</P> <P>Perhaps women's teams who are planning to enter the women's division could publicise this so it is possible to assess the enthusiasm. </P> <P>Rebecca</P></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>From: Nicole Roberts <MAAAFY_BIRD@YAHOO.CO.UK> <DIV></DIV>>To: britdisc <BRITDISC@CSV.WARWICK.AC.UK> <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: Fw: Fw: The Open Tour and Women's ultimate <DIV></DIV>>Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 03:37:01 -0800 (PST) <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Ruth et al, <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I agree too; it's a great idea having more women's <DIV></DIV>>events and trying to raise the profile of the women's <DIV></DIV>>game, but I'm finding it tough to decide whether to <DIV></DIV>>play open or women's.
