The Masters has always been a bit different. Far fewer commercials (4 minutes per hour vs. the normal 12-16 on network TV), and the only commercials were done by the sponsors of the event (i.e. Wendy's couldn't buy a commercial since it wasn't a sponsor of The Masters).
God bless them for taking this stand. Frankly, I belong to a private club (non-golf) that has women and men as members, and I think that's fine. It's also fine if men or women want to have their own private club and restrict it to one sex.

I agree. But it's also fine to organize boycotts when you don't agree with something an organization does. We do it all the time with Home Depot, Disney, etc. It's a give and take; part of the process.
