The music, the lily white patrons, the total censorship on coverage and language

The color of the patrons is not enforced, it's just a representation of the demographics that generally follow golf and have the necessary connections to gain access.

As for the rest of the stuff you mentioned: You say "elitist." I say "dignified."

its a private golf club, they don't have any obligation to let the press onto their private property. They are not the government and can not censor anyone.

Dignified Censorship

Patrons? Fans

Censorship on announcers and who covers it and such

Genteel just like the Ole Times

For once in my life I want to scream bring the swagga

I think it's awesome. When Chris Berman covers Majors it's awful.

There's a time and place for everything. To use the word "censorship" to describe a private club's desire to control what is said at its own event gives it an unnecessarily nefarious connotation.

They are hosting an event and want to maintain its regal air. It's part of the Masters' appeal. They're not the government.

I went to an LSU football game last year and I swear it was 95% white.

Swagga? What's that mean? Is that what the kids are saying these days?
