Aloha People
My husband went to the Masters this week. There has been a lot of talk about the hosting golf course, Augusta National, not allowing women to be members. This year they have a problem. The Master’s #1 sponsor, IBM, has a female CEO. By tradition, as a thank you, Augusta has invited the CEO’s in the past to join as a member. This year they have a problem- so the media says, the CEO is a woman.
My question to you is, should they allow her to join? Would you want to join if you were her?
My thoughts?
I’d rather be shopping at the local outlet mall personally. However, on one hand, it is a private club. On the other hand, this is 2012 people and I certainly would not diss on my biggest benefactor.

• If you have more than one page to link to, go ahead and post them all separately.
• Linking to a giveaway post specifically is viewed as spam, and as such, will be deleted just as spam will.
• Under 100 GFC Followers? Under 200 Twitter? Under 200 Facebook Page likes? Under 50 in your circle? Please add “low” next to your name so we know to help you out!
• YES, you can link to your hop. You may want to add “linky” next to it.
• Make a goal to visit 5 others, like/friend them, and then leave a comment telling them hello.
• Thursday Comment Club has been merged to Friday and Tuesday Friend and Follow. Feel free to list “comment” on your entry (as long as it is NOT for a giveaway of course)

Thanks for joining us!
Have fun!
No, I would not join. I think the tradition should be left alone. Call me old fashioned, but, I can’t stand when women try to force their way into a men’s club or group. Just my opinion!
On the one hand, I’d want to be a rebel and join in the boys club, but on the other hand, like Kari mentioned, the tradition should probably be left alone. 🙂
Have a great weekend, Harriet – and Happy Easter! 🙂
That’s a hard call and honestly one that I haven’t thought about. I do know that I wouldn’t want to be the only woman in the “boys club”. I also wouldn’t want to exclude the CEO of my biggest supporter. It will be interesting to see how it works out.
It’s of no benefit to women is it? Unless a woman wants to be in the sports dominantly.
1. I think the tradition should be left alone.
Women wouldn’t want a male forced into something that was traditionally female.
2. 🙂 As a rebel, I’d want to break down the boys little walls 🙂
Happy Easter 🙂
They should leave it just men. Men (and women) need a place to go, relax, and not have the presence of the opposite sex impeding their conversations and “bonding” time.
Here’s My Question
Hmmm such a good question. I don’t really follow golf much but hubs does. I had no idea about this controversy..lol.
I think tradition should be left alone.
