Was at Tadmarton on Friday for pairs open and they didn't have a TV showing it...everyone was sat huddled around their own phones hooked up to their WiFi 
Is there clubhouse in the country not showing the Ryder Cup...

We had it on yesterday and did a Sunday roast - clubhouse was full, anyone not booked for the lunch had to sit outside. Fortunately there was a TV outside too

There’s a variance of numbers being thrown about in this thread with costs ranging from £2k-£20k!!!
I think it all comes down to your membership make up which dictates if it’s a viable expense or not.
Generally our club has a pretty strong membership of 20-50 year old of whom all like beer and food and stay behind after rounds to watch footy/golf/f1 so I have no doubts that our sky recoups it’s cost and some. However, I’ve also been to clubs (my old club is prime here) where their main membership is 55~80. Most members would stay for 1-2 drinks max before leaving so there was no way that sky was viable as a way of generating cash but they recognised that without it the last big of bar traffic would no doubt be at risk.
In this day and age, a club house with no sky surely is pushing wet profit straight out the door?
