Not a perk and not an impasse. Augusta (where The Masters is held), had a tradition where the CEO of IBM was always a member. This has nothing to do with IBM, but the club itself (which has nothing to do with IBM). Even though she didn't end up being the first women invited into membership (she was the 3rd), one could argue that her promotion at IBM was what forced the club to make the change (there had been years to decades of pressure in regards to it).
