If I was a new member at that club and they threw a change like that, I’d be asking for my money back.I’m not in anyway trolling him, have a look at the thread from the beginning, he left facts out, allowed other posters to make derogatory comments about his Club without correcting them on facts, seriously, take a look at his responses when they’ve gone on half a story, he’s even had posters recommend he finds another Club or collect signatures to force an EGM, all based on half a story.
His Golf Club Facebook page (part of which I copied and pasted) clearly states the changes to the comp is a temporary measure.
He has 7 days a week to get his handicap and meet people, instead of a comp taking up saturday and sunday they’ve reduced it to saturday, surely that means sunday is social golf.
I would hope all Clubs encourage new members, but it can’t be 100% responsibility on the Club to integrate them, again their Facebook page states they have took on 70 new members recently, if all 70 are doing what he’s doing then either the Club will get the message quickly or god help the secretary.
In my circumstances, I can only play 1 round a week on a Saturday and I’m sure there are plenty more out there like that so how would a new member be expected to suddenly round up a 3 ball to get a tee time? Stand around the first tee begging for a game? Putting your name on a sheet in the locker room (I haven’t been in ours for over a year). It would be like starting school again, trying to make random friends.
At least with the BRS system the OP can look for a space and book in and get to know people that way.
If they are going to do a draw, at least make it random singles where you can specify a preferred time range instead of it must be a 3 or 4 ball and the 3 ball can tell a single to GTF if they don’t want them.
It’s 2020 not 1920.
