Female golf writer at end of tether

A golf writer for the New York Times said she wouldn’t want to cover the Masters again until Augusta National invites a woman to be a member.

“If it were left to me, which it seldom is in the power structure of writer versus editor, I’d probably not come cover this event again until there is a woman member,” Karen Crouse told GOLF.com. “More and more, the lack of a woman member is just a blue elephant in the room.”

Times sports editor Joe Sexton said the comments were, “completely inappropriate and she has been spoken to”.
