What was Sanford Weill thinking?
Page 2 staff
What the heck was Sanford Weill thinking when he broke the Augusta National Golf Club code of omerta and publicly supported the National Council of Women's Organizations' call for the club to accept female members?
NCWO Chair Martha Burk will be happy to hear she's got one ally in Augusta.
A. "Growing up with a name like Sandy made me very sensitive to gender issues."
B. "We need someone to cook for the board meetings and clean up after them."
C. "I had no choice. Mrs. Weill threatened to withhold."
D. "I want to join the 'sandtrap club' so badly."
E. "I'm tired of being forced to wear the wigs and heels at Club Cottillions."
F. "Hey, if we can get one golfer out there worse than me, I don't care what sex it is."
