Hello hemv2003-ga:

recognized and respected sports news, and general news, sites,
including ESPN and Sports Illustrated.
Here are the most authoritative, informative sites, and entertaining
sites I found regarding the Masters Tournament:

where I found this March 19, 2003 article on the Masters:

Augusta
National course, a club that bars women from membership.
