Martha Burk is back in golf, encouraging people to join a protest over the U.S. Womens Open being held next year at Trump National in New Jersey.She made the call for supporters in a blog for The Huffington Post on Friday.Burk rose to prominence in 2002 when she challenged Augusta National to end its discrimination by inviting a female member, suggesting it could become a problem at the Masters. The club chairman, Hootie Johnson, sent her a scathing reply that the club might one day have female members, but not at the point of a bayonet.Augusta National didnt budge in the wake of enormous pressure from Burk and the media, even going so far as to go commercial-free for the 2003 Masters.

However, the USGA has no standing over players at the Masters.

She also noted that Bedminster is in compliance with the USGAs anti-discriminatory member policy.During his presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has made some remarks that are at odds with our belief that golf should be welcoming and inclusive for all. We have reiterated that we do not share his views, and that is still true, she said in an email.Burk concluded her blog by posting a link to a petition to force the USGA to play next years Womens Open somewhere else.American golfer Gerina Pillar said she preferred to stay out of the debate.If its a good course, its a good course, she said from this years U.S. Womens Open.
