Bubba Watson the newly crowned Champion at the Masters was interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN, yesterday, April 10th 2012. \u00a0The interview touched on a \u201ehot” subject these days, i.e. whether Augusta National should allow women to become members at the \u201eOld Boys Club” i.e. Agusta National.<\/p>\n
Watson took a rather diplomatic position, since he probably doesn\u00b4t want step on anyones toes at Augusta so shortly after his great victory. He\u00b4s also in a rather prickly situation. But \u00a0Bubba also said that in \u201ethis day and age (he didn\u00b4t) see that it would hurt (allowing women to become members at Augusta National).” He has also stated in an earlier interview that Augusta\u00b4s position on women bothered him,click here: \u00a0Golf Magazine<\/em>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0However in the interview with Morgan he mentioned that Augusta was a club that had rules and could do that (ban women from the club).<\/p>\n When Morgan wanted to change the subject Bubba still wanted to hear Morgan\u00b4s words on the issue. Piers Morgan said that in his opinion not allowing women to become members at Augusta was “completely ridiculous”…ridiculous “that “in the modern age such a prestigious organization that the whole world was focused on at that amazing tournament did not allow womenmembers.” He said: “It is just like something out of the dark ages. I mean just get over themselves. How could it hurt to have a female member. What are they gonna do?…”<\/p>\n Upon which Bubba jokingly answered \u201eI know who\u00b4s not gonna be a member… YOU”<\/p>\n To which Morgan responded: \u201eI\u00b4m banning myself, if you\u00b4re watching Augusta I banned myself, you can\u00b4t ban me I banned myself – I\u00b4LL COME BACK WHEN YOU ALLOW WOMEN.<\/p>\n Well Piers Morgan might have banned himself from Augusta but he won the deepest admiration from not only women golfers but women all around the world, a.o. Icelandic women, who are egalitarians per excellance.<\/p>\n To watch Piers Morgan\u00b4s interview on CNN with Bubba Watson click\u00a0HERE:\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bubba Watson the newly crowned Champion at the Masters was interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN, yesterday, April 10th 2012. \u00a0The interview touched on a \u201ehot” subject these days, i.e. whether Augusta National should allow women to become members at the \u201eOld Boys Club” i.e. Agusta National.
