There may well come a day when women will be invited to join our membership but that timetable will be ours and not at the point of a bayonet.” Would that Major League Baseball had a Hootie Johnson of its own! Lest Burk think him naïve, Johnson described NCWO’s likely strategy and let her know Augusta National was fully prepared to subvert it. “We expect such a campaign would attempt to depict the members of our club as insensitive bigots and coerce the sponsors of the Masters to disassociate themselves under threat, real or implied, of boycotts and other economic pressures,” said Johnson.

Undistracted by the world-shaking events in the Mideast, she was pressuring the Augusta City Council, organizing demonstrations, collaborating with the ACLU, enlisting Jesse Jackson, hectoring members, browbeating sponsors, and demanding that CBS not televise the event. As the tournament approached, the Times ran articles on the Burk jihad very nearly every day, often two a day. They did no good. An April 14 headline summed up the outcome: “She Did Not Prevail This Year, But Burk Has Time on Her Side.” It should have read, “But Burk Has the Times On Her Side.” Burk and the Times kept beating the drum, but Hootie chose not to march to it. After two years, the heat had subsided sufficiently that he reopened the tournament to sponsors and had no trouble finding all he needed.

Tickets are by special lottery and once you have them they are yours for life. My father in law had tickets from the time they couldn't give them away and when he passed we lost the yearly pass to the masters. Amen Corner was our favorite spot to watch Tiger. |

An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear." Marcus Tullius Cicero |

My husband attended for years and loved Amen Corner. I would look for him in the crowd when watching. He likes azaleas and we created an area in our yard I call Amen Corner. I consider The Masters to still be an enjoyable American event that we can enjoy without political overtones. "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.

User ID: 78859924 United States 04/06/2021 11:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Augusta did finally start letting women be members. Which I feel is a good thing, although I would say there are 'women's tees' which are less distance than men's tees.... ...which means 'equality' is a bunch of bullshit. If you can't swing with Tiger and me and the big boys, then what is the point? I've stared down Tiger Woods on Amen corner to win the Championship on Tiger Woods EA Golf 2008, and I know what it takes. Lets see a lady do that. A. Nonymous Coward |
