At the 1995 Masters, CBS analyst Gary McCord said the 17th green was so fast it seemed to be "bikini-waxed." Augusta National Golf Club did not take kindly to the description and used its influence to have him removed from the Masters broadcast team.

Apparently those guys down in Georgia have never logged onto golf forums.

hardly a blunder

During the 1995 LPGA Championship, CBS analyst Ben Wright was quoted in a newspaper saying "lesbians in the sport hurt women's golf," and that women golfers "are handicapped by having boobs." The controversy raged on for months before Wright was dismissed in January 1996.

Male golfers are equally handicapped.
