Rare 2003 hat from Martha Burk & William “Hootie” Johnson over admission of female members to Augusta National. This hat was sold during Master’s Week & shipped all over the world in support for Mr Johnson & the club. Burk is widely known for a disagreement with Johnson then chairman of Augusta National Golf Club over admission of female members to Augusta National. Burk contended that hosting the Masters Tournament at a male-only club constituted sexism. In August 2012, Augusta National board of directors extended membership to 2 women in the wake of 2 gender discrimination lawsuits facilitated by Burk's organization resulting in $79 million in settlements & programmatic relief prohibiting these companies from entertaining at or in conjunction with facilities that discriminate on the basis of race or gender.
