Coming soon, courtesy of Augusta National...The Black Masters.

That’s my prediction.

Well it's not going to work. These guys don't give a frick about any of that. They are really high up. Notice that there are some former Presidents who will never get an invite there no matter what? They do not play politics.

Augusta National was a plant nursery for decades before Bobby Jones bought it and built the golf course. That’s why every hole is named after a different shrub or tree.

Augusta nation is a for profit corporation and owns every aspect of the masters tournament. They are on the PGA tour, but totally separate from the PGA. They qualify their own field, which is why there are always non-pga amateurs that play.

They make hundreds of millions a year from tv, patrons, images and gear. They have more money than G-d.

The author is an utterly clueless frick who knows nothing about the Masters.

It's easy to say that Augusta National has zero fricks to give, but history shows this to be the case. In 2003 they refused to be bullied by Martha Burk and the feminists and televised the entire tournament commercial-free, rather than have sponsors be intimidated.

Social justice Juicy's have been after the Masers for a long, long, time. Too bad its membership is made up by some of the wealthiest people on the planet.

Oh and it's a private club ask CBS how they know...

Remember when the corporate advertisers threatened Augusta National with no ad revenue during the Masters and CBS showed the tournament ad free?


I don't remember this at all, because it never happened.

What happened was that Augusta National preemptively dropped Citigroup, Coca-Cola, and IBM so that they wouldn't have to deal with the pressure from Martha Burk. It was a decision made entirely by The Masters to protect their sponsors. The sponsors never made any threats whatsoever.

"In July 2002, a month after Burk’s letter, a pair of the tournament’s corporate sponsors, IBM and Coca-Cola, declined to comment on Augusta’s membership policies. Tiger Woods, asked at the British Open about the burgeoning controversy, said Augusta’s members were “entitled to set up their own rules the way they want them.” Burk chastised Woods publicly for his naïveté, and began to pressure corporate sponsors. By August, Johnson had countered Burk, announcing that the tournament would drop its three major sponsors—Citigroup, Coca-Cola, and IBM—and televise the Masters commercial-free. Burk pressured CBS to refuse to televise the tournament, but CBS declined."

And at the downvote. Why don't you go back and actually read the fricking history? Some of us here are actually old enough to remember all that.

Who the frick do you think made the decision to not show commercials? CBS????

And be honest. When you hear anyone say the Masters, you think of slave masters in the South.
