Article Written by Amy in the Daily Beast
Read Amy’s article about the Augusta National allowing women to become members in the Daily Beast.
“Now that Augusta National is allowing women to become members, I’m just waiting for my invitation to come in the mail. The club was always going to take this step. It was just a matter of when, not if. I don’t think people function well under ultimatums, and it’s a private club, so it’s entitled to do whatever it wants to do. But it’s really about doing the right thing.”
