Default Paula Creamer Wants a Women's Masters!

Based on an interview with the current chairman of Augusta during the recent Masters, this will not happen. He stated that a second tournament, of any type, at Augusta would not take place. His reason was that Augusta is a private membership club and the preparation for, and after, the Masters severely restricts the ability of membership play at a club which has about a 6 month season. Having been a member at a club that had 2 events per year I can understand the concern - and we were able to play 10 months per year. Each event removed 3-4 weeks of membership play.
