I believe in 1982 they got to use their own caddies. Before 1982 they had to use the club's caddies -- who were all black.
When I was there the Golf Club hadn't had any black members, but they do now. They still have never had a female member.

Correct Daithi. Take it away.
Your point about black members reminds me of a joke (sorry).
Lewis Hamilton goes to Augusta to see if he can get membership. The rather stuffy and, quite possibly, bigoted member he speaks to says, "Oh, I am sorry sir, we don't take your type here. I'm sure they will accomodate you at the public course though, it's a twenty minute drive away". "Don't you know who I am", ejaculates Hamilton, "I'm a Formula One superstar, I am one of the most recognised people on earth, I have won the Formula One drivers championship!"! "I am most sorry sir, " replies the member, "a fifteen minute drive, then".
