Augusta National Makes The News Again

By now, you have probably already heard about Bergen Record reporter Tara Sullivan getting the Heisman stiff arm from Masters security when she tried to enter the locker room with a group of reporters. They were following Jean Van De Velde Trophy nominee Rory McIlroy to get some quotes. They were simply doing their job. The twitterverse exploded with outrage from fellow reporters at the treatment of their colleague. And who can blame them? There was much frustration on their part as to how Sullivan was treated, but it also brought up the history of Augusta National.


There are plenty of outlets where you can read about the not-so brilliant history of Augusta, so I'm not going to re-hash that. I'm more concerned about how it can be changed.
