AUGUSTA - A federal judge has ruled against Martha Burk and protesters of the all-male membership at Augusta National Golf Club. <br>
<br>
Judge Dudley Bowen said Monday that the city could relegate them to a site nearly a half-mile away. <br>
<br>
In separate rulings, Bowen upheld the constitutionality of a new city ordinance governing protests, then ruled that Sheriff Ronald Strength didn't violate his discretion in carrying it out. <br>
<br>
Burk is planning to protest Augusta National's membership policies during the third round of the Masters on Saturday. <br>
