One problem.
The Masters is not a PGA event. PGA players make up the field, but that is a completely different matter.

They obviously don't have jack to scream about if all they can do is spend their time yapping about a golf course. Pathetic! Proves they no longer have a reason for their existance.

In essence, the NCWO's strategy is a three-pronged one in which it hopes to pressure PGA sponsors to pressure the PGA Tour to pressure Augusta National.
Sounds like Ms Burke is getting desperate if she has to resort to third party blackmail.

This Burk person is giving nagging women a bad name.

I think the members of Augusta National should sue to join the NCWO! If we have the right to free association in this country, it's for everyone. You can't have an organization that's for women only if you can't have one for men.
Golf-wise, I think they should combine the men's and women's tours. They either could use the men's/women's tees, as appropriate, and compete against one another, or they could score men vs. men and women vs. women, but play at the same tournament. More exposure for everyone, and many of the women could beat some of the men straight up!

Attention WPGA... Create your own excellent Golf Club and keep the men out... Oh wait, no, that would require you to not act like a victim and take some initiative....

I am a lady golfer. Martha Burk does not speak for me, and I bet she's not a golfer either.
Most lady golfers will admit the women's game is much different than the men's. We just don't have the distance. I see men with lousey half-swings who reverse pivot and everything else under the sun, but they can still hit the ball twice as far as the best lady golfers with the finest form. They can get away with a lot simply because of superior upper body strength. That reason alone makes it reasonable for men to have an exclusive club if they so desire. If they don't want to construct women's tees and change their course in that way, so be it. I respect their rights and understand their reasoning.

Ya know, for some women, the thought of a group of old guys getting together and enjoying themselves, without women present, is just too much to bear. It kills them to think that some men can organize their lives without having to get a permission slip from a woman.
What's next Martha? My Wednesday evening poker group?
I look forward to seeing these feminazis around here next spring. I'm going to give them a piece of my mind, up close and personal.
