. . . Good Old Boys . . .


The Masters, played every year at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., is one of golf's four majors. It is a tournament founded by Bobby Jones and revered by golfers everywhere. The Augusta course includes towering pines, azaleas and dogwoods everywhere and are in full bloom spring just in time for the Masters.The property was an indigo plantation until 1857, when Belgian Baron Louis Mathieu Edouard Berckmans purchased the land.

 The Masters Tournament was started in 1934 and has been played every year since then.  Steeped in tradition, the Augusta National Golf Club allows women to play golf at the club but denies them membership to the Club.  However, this year that “gold ole boy” rule will be tested.  Typically, the Club automatically gives a membership to the tournament sponsors; but, the CEO of IBM who is this year’s sponsor, is Virginia Rometty.  It is rumored that she snorkels on vacation instead of golfing but that is not the point.

So, what is it about the male mentality that looks down its nose at pretty much all women outside of the bedroom?


And, what is it about the female psychic to have such a tenacious and relentless drive to be more like a man both inside and outside of the bedroom?

Women do not just want to possess upper management positions in business, but they also want to smoke cigars like males, drink and take drugs like males; in fact, many of these women seek to compete against males and hopefully win in almost everything.  While that is admirable from some from this observer on the sidelines, I am amused that this strategy brings with it an increase in the same illnesses that have taken males to an early grave.

Yet, in my opinion, women make better Leaders and Managers than their male counterparts because not only did they work harder to get there but they do not take their position for granted like most males do.

While women leaders and managers are just as “bottom-line” oriented as males, they do so with finesse and compassion and not with intimidation and rank.
