Default AJ you are toooo funny!

Your the one to be envied...your so clever with your cart renovations!...Wow!...His invitation to Augusta was from Billy Joe Patton, very famous amateur that was a member at our NC country club (I was sooooo green with envy!)

As far as what Augusta did, IMO it is up to them and their membership. I do not believe they had any obligation to ever let women in. Now the 'ole boys' will have to wear towels when they walk around the club

That said, congratulations to the ladies who received the new membership, although I heard from someone who read a post online from a guy whose neighbor's sister in law heard from a women at a local store in Georgia whose cousin knows a person that works at Augusta that the ladies got a new type of membership. Play anytime after 1PM on the 31st of each month unless a men's tournament is scheduled.
