TOKYO (AP) " The club that is set to host the 2020 Olympic golf tournament must change its policy of excluding women as full members or the event will go elsewhere, IOC vice president John Coates said Thursday. Coates, in Tokyo for a two-day coordination commission meeting, said some progress has been made on the issue but that the International Olympic Committee can only wait so long. "At some point there has to be a cut off," Coates said. Kasumigaseki Country Club board members met last month to discuss the issue but so far have failed to make a decision about changing their policy. The club does not allow women to become full members or play on Sundays.
