Membership cost increase

I'm looking at you thinking you're the idiot if you can't see a simple comparison.

No one else can either ??

This is becoming less than friendly.
Where's the ref, I mean the mods?

He's grounded by the missus for going out with the wrong colour jumper on - it's not just at golf clubs that it matters what you wear ?

You're right and I actually don't give a crap anymore if I get a yellow or red card.

I'm sure it will all be fine.
Peace to all, whatever you're wearing. ?

No it's bloody simple. You play 2 sports. One of them you are happy to comply with the rules, the other you whinge about everything. Do us all a favour and stick to football.

There are plenty and I mean PLENTY of football rules I moan about as well. (Further killing this argument of yours I might add.)

I once suggested (after a long debate in a meeting redress code) that perhaps we should adopt, as our new dress code, the simple slogan :-
No shirt, No Shoes - No Golf
I would suggest it on here but perhaps it might discriminate against the trouserless.

For me the dress code should be nice and simple

On the course please wear appropriate golf attire

In the clubhouse please wear clean respectful attire

Is it remotely possible that someone can contribute to the original post. Or should I just start another tangent by saying "Doesn't it just annoy you when someone sneezes as you're about to putt"

I tried around 45 posts ago and had one reply And a couple more agreed

The problem with This Forum is that a few members, less than 10, which is a shame have NEVER been wrong in their life about anything. Those members find it difficult to see another member’s point of view.

At times it is a strength to say “ sorry I was wrong, I made a mistake, you are correct!”

....and still they carry on.

All clubs are going to increase their fees because everything is increasing and not just utilities - staff costs , petrol for mowers , food and drink , greenkeeping items and it will filter to golf equipment

I suspect a number of clubs have got fixed rates in place for at least 12 months but it wouldn’t surprise if most clubs go up by around 5-10% minimum

It’s going to test memberships

A lot of threads divert from the OP by their nature as discussion evolves - it should be ok providing it doesn’t get nasty or resort to insults

the thread will over the next month as it’s renewal time no doubt divert back to fees etc

I believe our fees are staying the same for next year. I think in the last 15 years the full membership fee has only increased by £50. Not sure that stat can be beaten by any club in the country.

Since Covid our membership as doubled, but even now we only have just under 600 members.

 

[BrianM]

Just got my bill for the year, no increase ??
I’d have paid whatever anyway.
On another note, this thread is a car crash ??

That is fantastic. What do you pay?

I’d need to check the exact figure but I think it’s £600

£550 in 2007 was worth considerably more than in 2022 . Not surprising you didn’t have a lot of members then, you are seriously more affordable now.

It’s the best thread for ages.

Especially when someone makes a poor analogy then doubles down by calling other people idiots after making themselves look like one.
