Fully agree with all you said.

This way of thinking is why I'm going back to my original course. But no.....I don't know of any courses that publish the full list of blocked events at the club before you join......maybe they are out there, but I sure haven't seen it and I've been at 3 different clubs. I really can't see a new...

Yes. How many days are you prevented from playing at your home course?

Now follow that same thinking......the club closest to me has 7-8 Open series. Multiple "business" day events. Multiple "charity" days. There are others.....and it kills off quite a few days of playing golf. Will it put money into the clubs bank accounts? .....yep. Will it stop the people who...

Yes. But why drive 30+ min to another course when I can't drive a short distance to course I have paid pretty decent amount of money to play at?

And a senior rollup with 40+ people is not a good reason?

Does the rollup STOP the player from playing golf? No....they can play in the rollup....they just can't play the way THEY want to play. I mentioned this at the beginning. Why is that way "better" than another way?

As.....do all the other events I have mentioned. I can't play tomorrow at the closest course because of county womens comp.....they "quarantee" that time for this comp. I can't play.....unfair?

So....it's ok to block times for "good" reasons......?

That.....I finally agree with.

Where have I said that? Seems like I have stated multiple times there is a place for a compromise. Are you actually reading what I've wrote? I'll say it AGAIN. There is a place for both ways of playing golf. Please read what I have written........

Nope....doesn't sound like it works for me. As an example....at the club I am returning to......Tuesdays from 9=11am is a ladies "comp". Every Tuesday. All year. At the local club (Oakdale)...there are 7 or 8 Open series comps......blocked from playing unless you want to play in the comp. I...

I don't actually get this. At one of my clubs there are open tee times until 9am....then an hour of booked times for the rollup.....and then open tee times. Sure sounds like a compromise.....You get both ways of playing.....why is that so unfair? If it was a blocked seniors comp against ??? club...

Then why do Ladies days? Junior days? Visiting parties?......you say you can't do both, yet.....they do.

Fair enough......
