Journeyman Pro
They loved him for his success and in so doing raising the profile of the club and gave him honorary membership and allowed/elected him to the management committee.
The complaint of age discrimination gave them a problem, and to solve the problem the banned him.
That's what I'm getting from this.
I don't think he is at all bothered about playing there, he wants to make the point that a lifetime ban from playing golf there with a green fee is not one that they are likely to succeed with eventually. In the meantime any bad publicity he can give them - well - he's done that fairly well.
If I were on the committee I would suggest that they let him pay a green fee and play. Probably the best way to get rid of him, if that's what they want.
25 years from now he could go back and no one will recognise him. Maybe sooner, by the looks of the "members" and what a right bunch of "members" he has made them look.
did seem like they want to be like augusta national level of exclusiveness ..
