A co-worker and I were just discussing the fun story about whether Augusta National will finally be forced to allow a woman to join (don’t hold your breath). Got me wondering how many Dallasites belong. Here are the three I can think of: T. Boone Pickens, Tom Hicks, Harold Simmons. I’m sure the FrontBurner Nation has a name or two to add. Go!

There used to be a Decherd and/or a Moroney among the members. But not Robert or Jim.
A FrontBurnervian who’d rather not have his name in the comments passes along a few more names via email:
Oil and gas man (and known skirt wearer) Mark McKinley (father, John, was chairman of Texaco)
TV entrepreneur Jim Hoak
ALLTEL founder Joe Ford (moved here from Little Rock)
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson
According to this old list, Exxon honcho Lee Raymond is also a member. As is (was?) James Moroney Jr., father of the man running the paper now.
I think they should extend the invitation to her and see what happens. I also think it is fun to see conversations about forcing private clubs to do anything.
