Monthly Poll 1: how many different clubs have you been a member of?

[NBonfield]

Hi all,

It's monthly poll time again. This time, we want to know how many different clubs you've been a member of since you started playing golf.

Looking forward to your responses,

Nick

Not the most conclusive of polls. I have been a member of four clubs in over 40 years of playing golf. I'm sure there will be folk who have been members of more clubs in a shorter period of time.

How come there's no option for those that have never been a club member?

 

[richart]

Three in 40 years. A few gaps though when I saw the light and gave up the stupid game.

 

[Deleted member 17920]

5 in total in 20 years. Member at 2 clubs. 1 year and 19 years continuous membersip at a 9 hole course and flirted with a few other courses over the years.

Three Clubs in forty years of playing. Been at my current Club for almost twenty eight years.

My thoughts exactly after I'd opened it, ready to vote....

Are we not classes as active golfers if we've never had a Club?

Just asking.

Just two - one when I first started golfing and then after a long break my current one.
Next move might be forced through by HS2. :angry:

I've been a member of four clubs

Orton Meadows in Peterborough when i first started playing in the late 1980s - pay an play course with club attached - I'd love to go back to play one day.

Alford in Aberdeenshire - nice little course, great really friendly club.

Arbroath, when I moved home to Dundee area in 2005 they had a husband and wife membership that was a no brainer - think it cost about £250 for both of us - nice course, friendly people but I hated having to drive for upwards of half an hour to get there so didn't play anything like as much as I should have.

Grange Golf Club at Monifieth - bought my current house largely because of how close it was to the course (drive and a wedge from first tee) - we viewed the house and I told the missus "We're going to look at the golf club" - we were proposed and seconded for membership before we put the bid in later that day. Open qualifying course with a shorter James Braid designed second course, love it.

Because it's a poll about club membership

Been a member at 3 clubs since 2002
