    They just can't say who's it was. It will be revealed to the buyer after the auction.

    I am suprised they can be sold.

    IMO it would be the same reasons that Bent Grass is now called Bent Grass - they are a bunch of elitist "Old Boys" with a big team of lawyers

    supposedly all members have jackets but they can't leave the course w/ them ... but in some cases it happens a) kicked out b) quit c) die ... so this jacket was probably just some old rich boy's jacket.

    Say what you want about the Masters and their super-elite club, but the Bent Grass/Masters name thing was just copyright infringement, plain and simple. The law applies the same for everyone, just ask the WWE(F).
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I guess we will have to agree to disagree. It would have been different if they were calling themselves the Masters Tournament, or just "The Masters" but the Masters Club? I don't think so.......but when threatened with a law suit from a bunch of Richer than God snobs one can't afford to defend one's position in court.

    I believe that there would have been no finding of copyright infringement if it actually went to court. Hootie and boys just used their money to bully a small up-start local business IMO

    So you're in favour of ripping off someone else's name and logo? Or maybe you're just upset that they happen to have money?

    That was the crux of the issue. The word "Masters" associated with that logo is a well known copyright. I'm sure if they had used just the name, they would have been alright...
