I really thought that this thread would be dormant until next year's Masters tournament!!

The time has passed.

It is in the news.
 

Kill This Thread
 

Can we PLEASE kill this thread now? Every view has been posted, in some cases numerous times. Let it go to the bottom of the board and be forgotten until next year.

I only update this thread when there has been a significant development. Like with today's post.

That was about the PGA.

"U.S. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said the Masters Tournament is 'too important' to golf for his group not to recognize the event because of Augusta National Golf Club’s all-male membership.

Golf’s richest circuit won’t change its position on the issue because 'we don’t have to,' Finchem said in a press conference today in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, site of the Players championship." PGA Tour

This topic could become hot again if one of the Presidential candidates or some other candidate picks up this issue.

Are gays allowed to join Augusta National?

I dun no? Is John Travolta a member?

"Don't ask, don't tell" would probably still be in effect at the Augusta National Country Club.

IBM does have an excellent set of benefits for their same-sex employees though.
