Re membership fees

[Crazyface]

What clubs should do with their offers is to restrict them to non voting , who cares, and social golf with no county card. And I would apply to all reduced fees. If you want full benefits then pay full price

Just looked into my last club about rejoining at this time of the year....with a reduction in fees of course since this is swamp time of the year (I really need a field to practice on). It looks like the deal they have had for years (currently £850+ £5 a round) is going to be phased out and go to a straight full membership fee.....guess it wasn't paying off at this time.

£5 a round was pretty generous compared to the full rate. May have cost them full members, ie why pay full rate. Ah well......

After the really wet winters of the past few years there have been many people who have switched to these sort of deals or dropped a category from one that had say £1000 and £10 a round to £700 and £20 a round as winter golf has become worse with course closures more common. This has reduced the overall income that clubs who offer such deals receive. No wonder some are beginning to withdraw them.

We're consolidating some of the age related discounts, and reducing the age where full whack applies.

Will see what impact that has....
