Condoleezza Rice, here with PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem at the Masters in 2009, was also recently appointed to the USGA's nominating committee.

NEW YORK (AP) -- For the first time in its 80-year history, Augusta National Golf Club has female members.

They caved.

You watch, there will always be women-only organizations, but men-only organizations are verboten.

[Venturer]

Of course they caved. We all knew it would happen, we just didn’t lknow when.

There is no such thing as men only or white only any more.

You can have women only or black only , but not the other way around.

You don’t see a white congressional caucus do you?

Women ruin everything...and I’m a woman. No smoking, no drinking.....

[badgerlandjim]

Damn!

[goodnesswins]

Yep...Ditto what you said

“Women ruin everything...and I’m a woman. No smoking, no drinking.....”

I can think of at least one activity that would be far worse without women! :)

[Servant of the Cross]

I predict that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore will be called token ‘Aunt Toms’ by the feminazis. And they’ll demand more.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Well how “Politically Correct” the choices were.
Why not some of the ladies on or from the LGPA tour?
There are probably a number of women who would have been
better choices but when the cameras roll next April here you are.
Now only a matter of time until Rice is the new Chairman of the Club.
Cliff Roberts must be rolling in his grave off number 18 about now.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Now that this “Glass Ceiling” has been broken will men covering women’s sports now be allowed in the Ladies Locker rooms for interviews???????????????

You watch, there will always be women-only organizations, but men-only organizations are verboten.

Don't forget "historically-black" colleges.

[massgopguy]

There will still be no Red Tees at Augusta. BTW, I’d carry Condi’s bag any day.

laundry? *ducking*

Folks on this thread really give a damn about some swanky country club in Georgia letting women become members?

Great. Another manufactured distraction served up by the media to keep attention off the fact that the President of the United States sucks.

[Tex-Con-Man]

But a couple shots of tequila and they can be a party...

Agree. Great "brain housing groups" think alike :)
