NEW YORK -- For the first time in its 80-year history, Augusta National Golf Club has female members. The home of the Masters, under increasing criticism the last decade because of its all-male membership, invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first women in green jackets when the club opens for a new season in October. Both women accepted.

"For the first time in its 80-year history, Augusta National Golf Club has female members."

What a shame that people can't live the way they want to.

Another treasure flushed down the PC toilet.

[ConservaTexan]

The women complaining about this for years will now waddle into a Curves to celebrate.

[albie]

Did the clubs members take a vote on it? Or did the club make an “executive decision”?

[mylife]

Probably the later.

Moore and Johnson are close friends, both with roots in South Carolina and banking, and the person said Payne and Johnson agreed on the timing of a female member.

Somebody is getting their wick dipped. LOL

[Popman]

You need to read the article.... Nothing was flushed down the toilet ....

The fact the Rice was picked in my personal opinion is a poke in the eye to all those feminists hags....

These aren’t women any more than Condoleezza Rice is black. At least I think these are both “Republican Women” which is completely different than “women” according to the people who complain about Augusta.

[Steamburg]

At least these women have “gravitas”. One more Democrap issue off the table. I suspect there will be few “Good old Boys” who will actually object as long as they pay their dues and greens fees. At least until Condi beats the hell out of them in a skins game.

[Dixie Yooper]

They're Republican women! I don't think that's what the protesters had in mind. By the end of today, the MSM will be very disappointed with Augusta National.

[crosshairs]

Darla Moore? Wasn’t she part of “Our Gang”?

[mylife]

Yeah, but I was sweet on Miss Crabtree.

[BenLurkin]

Go Browns!

[mylife]

I’m rootin for them LOL
Though the new ownership hasn’t made a difference so far.

I yam what I yam.

Go Browns!

[mylife]

Didn’t she get barred from the “He Man, Woman Haters Club”?
