Skydivemom said it very well! Augusta National is a 'private' club; not a public accomodation. Hootie's handling of Ms. Burke was classic. Apparently she has not accomplished very much as President of her own organization; and, she was looking to capitalize on the prominence of the Augusta National, in general, and the Masters Golf Tournament, specifically. I can only hope that Mr. Payne has the same intestinal fortitude to make whatever decisions that are necessary based on the Club's needs, not some mouthy outsider!
