Hi all
Got to tell you about this fella i played golf with the other day. He has played Augusta National! He is a rich man with tyre companies dotted around the country and has powerful friends. He goes over to america for a couple of months and got an invite from an associate who is a member. He told me it was the 2nd best course he has ever played yes 2nd!!! he reckons tabacco road golf club is the best(somewhere in the states). I Know! Anyway he was in awe of the place greens unbelievable difficult he putted off the green 3 times in that round. It didnt cost him a penny he had a round of golf and a 3 course meal all supplied by the member. at the end of the day he was asked he if had enjoyed himself, obviously his reply was yes thankyou very much!!! then the fella said "take a good look around because you are never coming back" Not that he had acted unaccordingly, it is the fact that that course is so hard to play and you will only play it if you are invited by a member. Members are chosen by other members and thats it thats the only way you can get in, its full of goverment officials apparently and mega rich businessmen! He said if i turned up to the front gates with 100'000 to play 1 game i would get turned away!!!! Great fella great story!
