that's pretty damn funny. no offense to the all the women out there, but protesting to Augusta National about letting in female members is a lost battle from the get go. I mean, Bill Gates wasn't given a membership there, what makes that Martha woman think that they'll give her one?

It might be difficult, some will say it's impossible - but that's been said about lots of things that have eventually been accomplished. That's no reason to not try.

In any case, my take on the situation is that it's rather moronic to ban them. Think we'll ever ban women from our autocrosses? no.

i'm not saying that they shouldn't allow women to be there. it's just Augusta National is tough. I work at a golf store and many of the guys crack jokes like the only reason that they made that course harder and longer is that they didn't want Tiger to win anymore. i don't know if it's true or not because i haven't been there to see, but people say it's still pretty racist down there.

Why aren't any feminists hot? I just think they're all pissed off because no guy asked them to the prom when they were in high school, now they want to play golf.

Great picture though, lol.

Augusta also discriminates against me... A poor white guy with no influential friends.

Actually I could land on either side of this argument.
