Why is it ridiculous to have gender specific private organizations.


Because gender, religion and race specific orgs. were one of the ways the dominate class kept people from competing. Its exclusionary. Not a concept fitting for a democracy.

Augusta is organized slime:

"Augusta National has distinguished itself as a socially conservative organization. Its exclusive membership policies have drawn criticism, particularly its refusal to admit black players until 1990, [3] a former policy requiring all caddies to be black [4] and its continued refusal to allow women to join. [5] The golf club has defended the membership policies, stressing that they are a private organization. [6]"

The PGA should cease holding any national tournaments there and remove all support, to show they don't support policies like the above..
