Augusta National is making a twist on their rule as they invite women to join the club. Since it was founded in 1932, the nearly century old golf course is now welcoming female members. And guess what, the first two iconic personality to stepped on the grass of their field are Condoleezza Rice (former Secretary of State) and no other than, Darla Moore (a renowned financial tycoon from South Carolina).
Billy Pane, the chairman of Augusta National welcomed and joyfully confirmed the interest of these women to join their previously, all-male golf club in United States. However, a decade ago, they received a challenge from a women advocacy group lead by Martha Burk. And the entire rule has been changed when Masters' corporate sponsors reopen the issue for exclusive debate.
That is because of Virginia Rometty efforts who is now the chief executive of IBM. According to our source, at first, the management of Augusta National has been stunned by their different outstanding reasons to include a female golfer on their club. Rice as well Moore made a mark in the history after the slogans and flyers started to call the attention of the people responsible for all.
Furthermore, Augusta National Golf Club was still an exclusive golf course for its own members. But to be one of them, it is like having a great time with the wealthy tycoons in the country as well to be known all over the world. This can give these women a strong symbol in sports especially in golf as they can start to compete in the upcoming Masters tournament.
This decision will empower the other women and to open their interest to become one of a possible famous golfer of their time.
