Seems like everyone is throwing their opinions around regarding whether Augusta National should open their doors to female members. And when I say "everyone", I mean everyone. Next up? Billionaire investor Warren Buffett.
According to various sources, the 81-year old Buffett is all for allowing female members at Augusta National, saying he would have it no other way if he had a say in membership committee proceedings.
"I'm not telling the group at Augusta what to do, but if I were running the club I'd have plenty of women," Buffett said in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
"I might prefer having female members, but I'm not on the (membership) committee."
Warren, you old fox! We all know you would love to see the addition of female members donning the Green Jacket if you were in charge. Heck, that was never even a question with you, Mr. Buffett.
But in all seriousness, the dub-dub-dubya-bee has a point. Somebody just needs to knock some sense into Augusta Head Chairman Billy Payne first.
Is it really that big of a damn deal to allow female members, Billy? I mean really; what's the worst that can happen? A bunch of old coots frowning at you for allowing women into membership locker rooms and other club functions? Big flippin' deal. Those guys will get over it soon enough, or die of old age in the process.
Show off some of that southern gentleman charm, Billy, and do the right thing. If nothing else, you'll get some of the negative attention off your back for awhile.
