Jamie Reidy comments on the historic Augusta National Golf Course’s adding women.
ESPN.com reports that for the first time in its 80-year history, Augusta National Golf Club has female members.
The home of the Masters, under increasing criticism the last decade because of its all-male membership, invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first women in green jackets when the club opens for a new season in October.
Hey, bachelors out there: here’s yet another reason that the single former Secretary of State is a total catch!
GMP readers, did you ever NOT watch The Masters because of the course’s exclusionary policy?

Go, Condoleeza!
So one of the biggest non-stories in gender relations is finally settled.
I didn’t quit watching the Masters because of it. Why would I? They’re a private organization. If they want to be all-male they have that right.
The only real question I have now is this: will they put in new tee boxes for the women members?
