Today Augusta National Golf Club extends membership to women. The first two women are former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore. These women are the first female members allowed since the club was founded in 1932.
There has been a lot of debate on whether women should be allowed in or not. Earlier this year, the Masters, denied membership to Virgina Rometty, IBM's executive officer. Part of the corporate sponsorship included membership to the CEO.

Augusta National is closed from the middle of May until the middle of October. Both Rice and Moore will receive their green jackets in the fall.
