When the leader of an American institution looks out his window and sees Martha Burk of the National Council of Women's Organizations, the New York Times and the Rev. Jesse Jackson all blowing their horns, like Jericho the walls soon come tumbling down. At least in most cases.

The last thing we need is another Martha Burke story. But the author does make the valid point:

And in the grand scheme of things, the only thing that really matters is this: whether Tiger Woods will walk away from it with his third green jacket in a row.

These people know nothing about golf,the history of Augusta or the Masters Tournament.

Way to go Hootie,Bobbie Jones would be proud of you.

Does Condy Rice play golf?

First female member? What's her handicap?;)

There are Augusta members who would be happy to invite Sandra O'Connor right now. But they will not allow Martha Burke any sort of victory, so there likely won't be a woman for some time now. I wouldn't be suprised if Augusta invited a woman and then kept it quiet, just to prove they could care less what the National Woman's Congress (or whatever the hell they're calling themselves) thinks.
