Corporate executives connected with Augusta National Golf Club ducked the issue of its all-male membership throughout the four-day Masters Tournament that concluded yesterday.
Their silence persisted even after President Barack Obama’s spokesman and Mitt Romney, the potential Republican Party challenger, said April 5 that the near 80-year-old club should admit female members. In addition, social media sites including Twitter.com have been filled with comments calling for an end to gender discrimination at the club.
