We all love the Masters, but I do have to say that the overall attitude of Augusta National gets to me every year. I get very frustrated with the limited coverage they provide. They used to hide the front 9 all together but now with the growth of TV coverage they had to sort of abandon that. However, they continue that "tradition" online now by making sure you cannot see a single golf shot from the front 9 all week online. 
Of all the majors the Masters has the least TV and online coverage. What a shame.
Then you have things like this article...

This is another example of the attitude of the club and the overall exclusive nature it projects. Yes the argument sounds great that they are protecting the members playing time but I don't buy that at all. The fact it took them until 2012 to invite 2 female members tells me what I need to know.
Ok, off my soap box. I am sure not everyone shares my opinion and that is fine.
