They are not discriminating against anyone attending the event. Plus, there is a pretty lengthy set of terms on the back of each ticket to a sporting event. Membership, on the other hand, is unrelated to the Masters, specifically. When considering membership, I would expect that no public use rules apply. The Golf Club is certainly never open to the general public during the course of the year, and even during the Masters, access is strictly controlled to only those who are playing in the event or have paid to attend it. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:349588 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
