why we have to allow some people to destroy The Tradition that is already been stablish for a long time. Augusta Rules and regulations are just fine. There is no need for a change. Btw where are my tickest for the tournament 2013? I would love to be there to say outloud: Males members are the only ones permited. Ladies live the gentleman alone in this matter. This Golf Course is only for male players.

No women should be allow in Augusta Tournaments. This Golf Course is and should be exclusively for men only. Its a sport that have what it takes to bring out the best of man. Lest keep it like that.

We heard the same prejudiced comments when the controversy was about allowing African-Americans to play and then to join. The policy as stated by Clifford Roberts was that when an African-American qualifies then he will be invited. Lee Elder won on the PGA tour and was invited. Seems that policy was not followed this time with Ms. Rometty. As to her being qualified to be CEO she is probably vastly more qualified than any man because for a woman to excel in this era she must be twice as good as a man to get 85% of the pay. As for bringing Obama into this you obviously have Obama derangement syndrome. It's time for Augusta National to move into the 21st century.

ABSOLUTELY NO WOMEN AT AUGUSTA!!!!! LEAVE THE PRIVATE MEN'S CLUB ALONE. THE PUSHY FEMINISTS JUST DON'T GET IT & THE CEO WAS PROBABLY HAND PICKED WHILE MEN WERE OVERLOOKED FOR THE JOB--BECAUSE SHE 'S A WOMAN--IT HAPPENS OFTEN & IT'S NOT RIGHT. WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW THE BY-PASSED MEN FEEL ABOUT THIS. IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY AT AUGUSTA W/ THE GUTS TO OPPOSE THIS NONSENSE. WOMEN PUSHED INTO THE MEN'S LOCKER-ROOMS--NO PRIVACY FOR THE MEN--THE WOMAN PUSHED INTO THE CAR RACING & ON & ON & ON. THE WOMEN JUST DON'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO COMPETE W THE MEN --I LOVE IT! AND THEY CAN'T STAND NOT BEING AS BIG & STRONG AS A MAN!!!!!!! GET OVER IT, WOMEN!

It just goes to show that Obama will politicise anything. This is a private club, why should I care who they allow as members? The market will solve the problem (if one exists), just as it always does, we don't need 'mommy' to step in to make everyone play nice-nice. Obama should have the government take it over and allow everyone in the country to enjoy what these 1%-ers built on the backs of the the masses. Or, maybe he could ask congress to pass a law to force 'men-only' clubs to pay 98% taxes on membership fees (screw the constitution, if congress passes a law, the Supreme Court should not overturn it). I guess the dems wouldn't do that, because they don't have the power.... yet.
I like the fact that an institution such as the Master Golf Members do as they wish and turn a cheek to the pressures of the world and their idealism. I like the fact they do as they wish and continue to stay true there own traditions and values, such as the constitution of United States of America. This means freedom to me.
If we can do what we want with-in reason, that make me fell like I still in a live a free Country.

They should be free to do as they wish, but excluding 50% of the population is foolish and only serves to make them look backwards.
