Fancy ladies of business: Do you suffer from headaches because you're always accidentally bumping your heads against the glass ceiling? Well, the good news is that there might be away for you to break through it once and for all. The bad news is that the way to do that is by learning how to pay golf. Booooooo.

I'm sure you're all familiar with the good folks over at 5-Hour Energy (assuming you're the kind of person who's interested in hours and hours of energy). It's like the very best stuff to drink if you have four hours of things to do that are one hour away. But did you know that in addition to being energy wizards,…
The moment shouldn't have felt so good. All along, we knew the day would come. We knew the chosen women would be so privileged that a golf-club membership and new green jacket wouldn't dramatically improve their lives, much less change the world.
Congrats to Lydia Ko! Even if you don't like golf (why hit something so far you have to get in a car to go get it?) you've gotta love the grin on this young athlete. Yesterday, the 15-year-old South-Korean-born New Zealander became the youngest-ever winner of the LPGA tournament. After the Canadian Women's Open, the…
The Augusta National Golf Club, renowned for its exclusivity and fervent adherence to a strict Dudes Only policy, has finally broken its nearly 80-year streak of not having any female members and admitted two women: former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina businesswoman Darla Moore.

The dangers of driving drunk are well-known, but apparently technology has created a new one: overreliance on one's GPS. Earlier this week, a 47-year-old woman in Uxbridge, Massachusetts, got behind the wheel of her car after having a bit too much to drink, but instead of wreaking havoc on the road, she ended up lodged …
Move along, folks. Nothing to see here. At least, that's what Billy Payne, Chairman of the men-only Augusta National Golf Club hopes will happen. He's just released a statement regarding the controversy of his golf club's refusal to admit women: there is no statement. Talking about it is against the rules. Everyone…
The world-renowned Augusta National Golf Club is one of the most famous and last remaining true "old boys clubs": in its 80 years of existence, they have never once allowed a woman to become a member. But now they've found themselves in a bit of a jam from which it seems there is no escape. You see, every year they host…
A new study shows that for people with heart disease, "sexual activity generally is safe and no more strenuous than golf." That's provided that you do it "with a familiar partner in a familiar setting," so sex on the golf course is apparently out (unless that's your regular thing).

What can John Boehner do that Nancy Pelosi (and Hillary Clinton, and Sandra Day O'Connor, and anyone else unlucky enough to possess ladyparts) can't? Be a member or even set foot at his preferred golf club, the Burning Tree Club, as the co-editors of Mother Jones point out today. (They are similarly cursed.)
Climbers rejoice — a survey found that women deemed their sport the sexiest among a list of options. Golfers, however, are out of luck.
