Golf club car snobbery

[Bunkermagnet]

Wow, I didnt realise you had car snobbery only at golf clubs.......

 

[chrisd]

My last car was a Mercedes saloon, my current car is a Vauxhall Astra with a couple of very bad scratches - not one comment on either in my time!

Does owning a big bright blue Bentley help you play better golf?

The people in posh cars get more of a ribbing than those in bangers at my place. I regularly turn up in my work van and have never heard a peep tbh.

A smattering of vehicle types at my club from Maserati to white van to bicycle can be found in the carpark.

TBH I think there is more ball snobbery, than cars. Playing a Topflight?.......yuk

And quite right to 😁

Could do without the long wheel base 3 1/2 ton panel vans. They just dont fit in a parking space. Not snobbish, just practical.

If you turn up to our par 3 in anything over 30k you get weird looks

Snobbery works both ways in my experience. From either driving a rust bucket or a Bentley, the latest clubs to 10 year clubs, Dunlop clothing to Galvin Green.

No one should GAF either way 🏌️

That's fair enough though. You have to draw a line somewhere

Quite an amusing thread on a forum where so many members cannot resist any opportunity to brag about their own car and sneer at the so called lesser brands of golf equipment.

Surely there's no element of double standards, is there?

There are a lot of pretty normal family cars that are over £30k these days.

A Ford Fiesta with a decent spec is £16k or so. Crazy really.

I haven't heard any of that at our club. Anyone who mocks someone over their car is probably an a-hole, golf club or anywhere. I can't even drive but I own a Nissan Micra my mum gave me for free and that my missus currently drives, so I would have no room to mock anyone else over cars even if I was that was inclined.

Haha,

my wee car was sandwiched between 3 Range Rovers and a Volvo XC 90 when I returned to it after golf the other day. All nice busses but I wouldn't like to put rubber on each corner never mind pay for one. I know what cars I like, but I also know what cars I can afford!

 

[Liverbirdie]

Ours has from Micras to Skoda Superbs in it, unless a society takes it up a notch.

I drive the Superb......

Reminds me of that 60's sketch with John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Corbett in it.:thup:

It does apparently mean you have a bigger nob though

Had a bloke at my old club with a big Rolls Royce. Nothing wrong with that except he seemed to think that he could park it wherever and however he wanted.

I agree with the issue about the size of some vehicles. The parking bays at my old club were not designed for vehicles the size of some of the current 4x4s and twin cab trucks. They often took up 2 spaces and I can see the issue when you have a limited amount of parking.

Never experienced any snobbery though. Never got any comments when I had a Clio estate.

No no no; you have gotten that wrong - the fact you own a car in the 100+K mark means women don't care what size nob you have - it's the wallet size that counts!!

My car has upwards of 112k miles on it. Ooh yeah :rofl:
