Obama: It’s time for Augusta golf club to admit women members

120. No, I'm not "extremely unfamiliar with the tournament."

I remember it when the "default" caddy was a black guy in a white prison-like jumpsuit.

I didn't care for it then, either.

There's nothing honorable about bigotry and exclusion. Without the money, that place would dry up like a dessicated shithole--"Amen" corner and all. Ike did a bunk from that place as soon as bigotry became an issue, and no one liked golf better.

Stuff does go out of fashion, you know--Augusta's time has passed, unless they change their ways.

The only reason that "golfers want the green jacket" is because golfers are persuaded to show up in the first place for the MONEY. Once the best are selected, then the competition becomes amusing. They would never show up, though, if the money didn't bring them there in the first place.

You're trying to play a chicken-egg game, here. It doesn't work. Take away the cash, and those golfers would happily take a hike to the place where the money is being handed out freely. You wouldn't get the level of competition without that cash because those guys do that for a LIVING, not for the charitable amusement of others.
