    The home of the Masters now has green jackets for women.

    In a historic change at one of the world's most exclusive golf clubs, Augusta National invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first female members since the club was founded in 1932.

    "This is a joyous occasion," chairman Billy Payne said Monday.

    Interesting that they chose the most powerful women to join their club...doesn't seem very inviting at all. Didn't they just let black people in the club in 1990? I mean really...they only started accepting black people in 1990! A real gem of a club..
