Golf Club Hierarchy

Seriously though if committee members and scratch holders ate going to stand and abuse innocent juniors from.170 despite being told they had done no wrong it's hardly ant wonder clubs are struggling to attract younger members is it!
 
I gave up playing football as I was sick of the politics and hierarchy, so I'd be unhappy if I was at a club where anybody was treated as a 'second class citizen.' Especially when we consider how much money people pay for a membership.
 
Still proves that no matter now much the EGU, PGA and all local bodies want to open the game to the masses, there are still clubs/people that golf clubs should still be run as they were 20 years ago.

My worse experience of this was playing Edgebaston GC, Birmingham. I was playing with my Mother-in-law 6 years ago (Who was the Lady Captain at her club). We were being held up and yet being pushed by a group of idiots behind. by the end of the front 9 , i lost my rag and walked back up the fairway, after watching a drive fly past me (i was walking and was 200yds from the tee) and shouted "what's the F**king point?? just F**king wait!"....

at the end of the round, we finished, and headed into the clubhouse (bear in mind it was midweek) and was told i was not welcome in the clubhouse as i did not have shirt and tie!. there was only 1 person in there.....and strangely enough, it was one of the guys i lost my rag at. So i spent my money in a local pub.

I will never play there again and it is a shame that people , when it comes to golf, treat it as an elitist game. so untrue these days.
 
Have to say that this thread and others of a similar note really make me feel lucky to be at a club that to my knowledge anyway has very little in terms of hierachy and obvious bullying. I have played with scratch team members through to high handicappers and nobody honestly has a bad word to say about anyone.
 
Sorry but your hierarchy is incorrect, at the top should be seniors. We even have our own set of golf rules know as "senior rules" :smirk:
hi,i will be classed as a senior next year (55) is one of these rules you have to give the skins money back to the cat1 players before they start crying after you have tanned their ar*e,on another note were do you play,i live in rainhill.
