... Martha Burk, chairperson of the National Council of Womens Organization, and her posse are protesting the exclusivity of Augusta Nationals membership. Augusta National should not be forced into having a female member because it is against the constitutional right of free association.
Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia is one of the most prominent golf clubs in the world, but Martha Burk doesnt seem to care. Martha sent a letter to Augustas chairman, Hootie Johnson, asking him to open his membership to women soon. Martha asked that the club include at least one female member or else it would become a public issue at next years Masters. ...
The Chairman of Augusta National, Hootie Johnson, has one thing on his side: the Constitution. ... The right of free association protects his private club from being forced to admit a female member. Augusta is public property for one week, during the Masters. The other fifty-one weeks Augusta is private (Martha Burk 1). ... Augusta National shouldnt be any different. ... In support, Martha Burk leads a group of women who demand that Augusta National Golf Club have female members. Why doesnt Augusta just let in a woman if they are eventually going to do it anyway?
