30 intermediate members on 2/3's fees could be pushing £30k from a budget, which is about a £90 increase on subs for full members. Yes it would need to go to the members to decide if its in the best interests of the club to offer a reduced membership in the hope of bringing in younger members at the risk of losing older members...
And to quote you, you go and get elected. That way you'll know what you're talking about.

It affects membership make up which may have been the reason some longstanding members have joined the place and they therefore should have a say. It also makes the course busier which may or may not be desired and potentially affect pace of play/availability of tee times. Assuming the club is in demand enough to be able to fill these spots with full paying members then they are also losing out on money affecting everyones dues.
Is that how it works at your place?

The country has a constitution, companies have constitutions ( called Memorandum and articles of association) but same as a constitution. Charities have constitutions. Golf clubs have constitutions . Don't fight it accept it and work within the framework it provides.
It is there as a protection to each individual member

I always liked the story about the Scottish University anarchists club who found out they could get a £200 grant from the university if the formed an organised club with a constitution.
The constitution led to much discussion and was finally solved by copying one of the sports clubs constitutions and adding a final clause.
'All of the above clauses in this constitution may be ignored by the members if they so wish'.

Not so sure that the UK does have a constitution Phil.
But there's the Magna Carta, which was signed at quarter past 12...

Oooo are you challenging Foxy for the forum pedant title 
Ok there isn't a written constitution as such, but a collection of statutes, conventions, the Magna Carta etc that provide the same framework, i.e. A set of rules by which the body in question is governed,
Happy now

Unlike most modern states, Britain does not have a codified constitution but an unwritten one formed of Acts of Parliament, court judgments and conventions.
It's all on google

Glad you put the record straight.
BTW.... I don't think there was a UK in 1205.

Getting misty eyed about better times, Doon? 😀
You're not wrong when you're right. BTW, the Magna Carta was signed in 1215, not 1205...

Ahhh but you forget they triggered A50 in 1205, they only signed it in 1215.
Anyway I'll see your Magna Carta and raise you a Declaration of Arbroath
Verily did he say unto him, I have chortled too.

I didn't know it was only Arbroath. Every time I've heard it mentioned, it was always "Arbroath 0".
