Pretty tough to be a "private" club yet host one of the most public spectacles on the sports calendar. They finally became color-blind in 1990. Its been long overdue for them to allow women members. The two high profile women that were admitted will certainly add luster to their membership roster. Sounds like this is all the result of their new Board chairman. Hootie, imho, belonged in the stone ages.
