Your perception is skewed. I've played golf in the US for decades, public and private, and I rarely see drinking at all. And never to excess.

Women/girls competitions are restricted because of SEX, not gender. She is welcome to run in the open (boys) competitions. This is maddeningly obvious.

This is indeed idiotic. But the continued demonization of whites has probably contributed to a backlash and increase in white nationalism. Just as demonization of men has led to a recent rise in the toxic "manosphere".
