Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

[Arthur Wedge]

@C7usk - Not so unusual for a private members club, and in fairness, more relaxed than some of those too!
You get proposed by a friend, then have a play in round with a past Captain or current committe member and an informal chat with the assistant GM, current Club Captain and two or three committee members. If that goes okay, then you are accepted as a provisional member. 6 months subs paid, and then you have up to 6 months to play or meet a minimum of 20 people.
Once you've done that, another informal chat with similar group plus other provisional members in the same situation to give them feedback on the process and understand final steps.
Your name goes in a book and once you've got 20 signatures, you're in as a full member.
And that's when they hit you for the joining fee and subs for the remainder of a full year.

How much are you paying to get 20 people to like you

Less than you'd have to!

This is bordering on obsession now.

I spotted this too, but didn’t want to be the one to start another ham eggs and chips conversation.

But now you’ve done it…

What kind of ham are we talking about?

Had a look through the clubhouse windows to see how the transformation of our clubhouse ground floor was going, now that it’s almost done. And it looks splendid. Wondering how all the grumps who vehemently assert that doing it’s been a complete waste of money. We’ll see.
