While golf enthusiasts say the situation has improved in recent years, there are still many private clubs that restrict the hours during which women can play, refuse to allow women to tee off on weekend mornings or do not permit single women to be club members. Tracy Friedman, 49, a television writer from North Hollywood, Calif., was taking Saturday lessons two years ago at Lakeside Golf Club in Burbank when a member invited her to join him for a round.

Dozens of similar executive health programs have sprung up around the country, prompted by the proliferation of HMOs, which generally restrict physicals to bare-bones essentials, and by a rapidly aging population in need of greater care. The cost of these thorough examinations can run high--from $1,200 to $2,500--and is generally not reimbursable by insurance companies.
