1) Yes
2) oh no I didn't - have a look!
3) There are many in the under £20 bracket - To me there is no such thing as a bad golf course - there are many that one might not wish to return to for some reason, but as long as it is alive and providing fun for some, then that is all that is required
4) blimey, an agreement!

Is your HC stand alone then and no links to EGU for CDH etc
 
LCVreg said:
Yep - not this year! - that is why the statement was made in the first place!

Not this year ?

Have you asked EGU and Congu to allow you to be recognise as a Club ?

How will you get around the lack of home course issue ?
 
LCVreg said:
1) Yep - if a "properly organised society" wishes to do the scheme it would be at their expense - where did anyone say "every other society"?
2) Slope - I suggest you read and understand the US system before berating what I have said - I have - have you - and I have played it in American Golf tours - have you - suggest looking at the two US Amateur tours - Golf Channel is one
3) Who is asking anyone to subsidise anything?
4) It is easy - have you played in EAGT (ex Volvo!)
5) I am no authority, but I have views which are not blinkered, or one sided or living in the past that obviously you have - Half baked only for someone who it seems by all accounts spends all his times just being contrary on whatever forum he wants to waste his time on every day.

All I ask is you show some consistency in your arguments having previously complained about the green-fees some clubs charge so want them reduced (subsidised) to suit you

As for unblinkered views you could not be more wrong. You have an idea which you have convinced yourself is right and, therefore, everyone with an alternative view is wrong.

Oh, by the way I have studied the Slope Rating system and, like many others, fail to see how it would operate without a Home Club.

As for the EAGT as has been said the fees are steep and that is with the benefit of sponsorship so hardly representative of the lower cost alternative to Club membership you have previously claimed will benefit the future of the game.

As for personal attacks and insults in which you seem to delight they say rather more about you than they ever will about me.

Thats just a few - i cannot be asked for this sort of stuff as you are obvious blinkered and living an a land of dreams

Wow! You've actually done something people have been asking for for over 200 posts.

You do realise that some of the links go to pages that are 4 years old, and some to pages that no longer exist, and some don't go to articles at all. Like I said in the last sentence in my post you quoted, how about some up to date data!!!!!

As for the GCMA article, it totally contradicts the Feb 16 article that says that the participation rate is going up, especially in the younger age bracket.

Blinkered and dreaming? You should try a mirror., but best put some sunglasses on.... the shock could do you some harm.

Does your club pay county fees for each of other counties clubs you play in leagues etc

This is a rather infantile post, you know full well that isn't how the system works. Do you pay annual road tax to every country you drive your car in on holiday?

Most clubs I know off only play in "Official County Leagues" with teams all from one county ?

There maybe clubs that play in social games against other clubs ( as we do ) from another county
 
LCVreg said:
I will not be nasty, but that is as maybe around you, but is certainly not universal ! - so, does that nullify your statement?
Click to expand...

Regardless

Each club pays the fees for the county they affiliated with

As a society which county will you be affiliated too if you play on courses in various courses ? Again it shows the problems faced with a lack of a home club

Which is why I usually do not go on these self centered sites, but this one was a such a tempter for abuse and it has brought out all the usual "politicians"

And, in your own case, "pompous oafs".

Who called who dinosaurs? Who called who blinkered and dreaming? People asked time and again for proof. People who have many years of golf club management have questioned your business model, and asked you to substantiate your claims.

You're the one that started the insults when questioned. You really are a very sad, small minded selfish individual.

50 - every three weeks - @£25 - £45 - all figures noted earlier - the relevence? - It means we have at least 15 "qualifiers" per year - and none with 6 entries in a mid week medal as happens a lot!
Click to expand...

How do you pay for the HC software and rounds on some of the courses you mention for the price you charge ?
