From YAHOO Sports:

On Thursday, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews announced its membership has voted to allow female members. Peter Dawson, chief executive of the R&A, the governing body off-shoot of the club, said the club will fast-track membership for "a significant initial number" of women into the club...

The club was founded in 1754.

The Club has been in existence since 1754!

Congratulations to the members for voting to allow female membership and a big "stand up and give them a round of applause" for being around for 260 years!
