Kids, but still no women at Augusta National

Just kidding. Augusta National Golf Club Chairman Billy Payne said Thursday they’d let kids between the ages of 8-16 attend The Masters free when accompanied by am accredited patron.

“We want to inspire the next generation of golfers now,” Payne said in a statement released to the media. “We’re serious about exposing youngsters to golf and The Masters.”

I guess the old fellas are finally waking up to the fact they might be considered a little too stodgy for the younger generations, and are trying to change that,

Also, the par-3 tournament at The Masters will be televised for the first time next year, on ESPN.

ESPN will take over from USA Network in first and second-round coverage.

Mere words cannot express the respect I have for Augusta National. Now we just have to get the broads out of the military and off police forces and we'll have a good start.
