Augusta National welcomes Condi Rice

[Townsend]

They get crucified for having had the policy in which they just changed. What is it going to take to make people happy?

Probably a quicker change keeping up with the times I'd imagine.  If they'd done this in the '80's or '90's,they might not've gotten smacked about so much.

Never actually having the policy would've been a way to go.

Do you really believe that?

Fair enough but it is what it is. The current leadership as much as they may want could do little to change what happened when the club was founded. All they can do is move forward.

Believe what?  That changing the policy decades before now might've saved them some grief?  I believe that's probable.

Said nothing of the kind. I was actually pretty well redressed for expressing the opinion of my friend and of myself. Stop throwing out the straw men.

You're the one who was being dismissive of people's criticism while going on about it being "just a private club." That's a pretty strong implication. You might want to choose your words more carefully.

That's been a trend of his lately.

They could have saved even more grief if they had dissolved the club decades ago and put up a shopping center or housing development.  Where do you want to draw the line?

I think you colored off the page.
