Phillip)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:40 PM PT \u2013 Wednesday, April 7, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The chairman of the Augusta National Golf Course discussed the new Georgia voting law. On Wednesday, Chairman Fred Ridley spoke to reporters and was asked whether or not he and the organization approved of the new law.<\/p>\n<p>Ridley appeared to avoid giving a direct answer, but added his input wasn\u2019t going to be helpful in reaching a resolution. He did, however, acknowledge that voting is an American right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think that my opinion on this legislation should shape the discussion,\u201d Ridley stated. \u201cAs I stated in my previous comments, I believe and I am confident that every member of this Club believes that voting is an essential fundamental right in our society and that anything that disadvantages anyone to vote is wrong and should be addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">God bless Fred Ridley.
