Hootie's next letter.

It is with great disappointment that we announce we will no longer play The Masters tournament or any other public tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.
Rather than knuckle under to the political correctness of these times, we have chosen to shut it down.
In an unrelated matter we would also like to introduce our first woman member, Katherine Harris of Florida.
We thank all of our past patrons and champions.
Hootie

Hootie ought to get an even more original idea than you've offered. Make it a public club with membership granted on a first come, first served basis. Oh, and set the membership fee at, say, $500,000,000 -- waived, of course, at the Membership Committee's discretion.
