While they are at it---rename the golf tournament to the "Slightly Above Average Invitational" at Augusta.
Take my dregree away---give me a "The one after Bachelor's Dregree".

Owner is far worse than master...master implies head of household, doesn't mean you own anything, whether it is slaves or tenants.

Yes, I do have a master bedroom in my home.
It's where I sleep every night.
