Els may or may not be invited for who knows whatever reason(s). None of this bothers me because the Masters is great spectacle, but in truth, not much of a golf tournament. Why it's still considered a major is beyond me.Average Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046762898552584292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-77214432725253630262012-03-30T11:20:07.174-04:002012-03-30T11:20:07.174-04:00Interesting post, thanks for sharing!Interesting post, thanks for sharing!HayesvilleGolfCourseshttp://www.hamptongolfclubs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-3813867753003055092012-03-29T20:55:36.922-04:002012-03-29T20:55:36.922-04:00Am I the only one who can't help thinking the ...Am I the only one who can't help thinking the Augusta National BigWigs relish the chance to withhold invitations to top players. From what I've read, soon after its debut in the mid 30s, The Masters "brand" (though I don't suppose the committee would like that word) seemed to start leaning towards the idea of a closed society with little regard for outsiders, almost becoming a character of itself in the process, with its exclusionary policies It seems inevitable that the last vestige of those policies, the exclusion of women, may now finally tumble.golf growlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02818714221639417955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2640652526116928447.post-9993324661361034322012-03-29T16:31:56.796-04:002012-03-29T16:31:56.796-04:00I sure hope Ernie gets in somehow.

How's this for a coincidence: the only two time I've had the good fortune to attend the Masters were 2000 and 2004, the two times The Big Easy was runner-up.
