It is a historic day in golf, with 75 of the world's top women amateurs starting play at the Augusta National Women's Amateur in Augusta, GA. The players will play the first 36 holes at Champions Retreat Golf Club on the Island and Bluff nines, which were designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, which is very cool. Then the field will be cut down to the low 30. On Friday, the entire field will play a "practice round" at Augusta National, with the remaining 30 playing the final 18 holes of stroke play on Augusta National on Saturday, to crown the first champion. All very, very, very cool stuff. What doesn't make sense is why the Augusta National powers that be would schedule this event on the same week as the LPGA's first major, the ANA Inspiration. Are calendars now allowed at Augusta National? Do they not care about women's golf and this is just a way to get the monkey off their collective backs and appease some of the outspoken population? It makes no sense. Let's tee it up.
