HI All,
I'm a bit of a returner to golf. I was a member of a course 11 years ago, then the children came along and we moved area. My son is now 11 and has a real passion for the game, mainly through watching golf on Sky Sports. We have been to the local pitch and putt/driving range and I dusted off my trust Ping G10s and purchased some clubs for him. I decided to take him for lessons as I feel unable to help him improve as I am not great at the game myself. We went to a local course for lessons with the Pro and he loves it. The pro hasn't pushed membership but its £25 for him for a year and £615 for me. My dilemma is do I need a membership? I don't feel confident enough to get involved in competitions (as I did over 11 years ago) yet but like the idea if being able to play a few holes as and when we like as members, the Pro suggested that as members if we wanted to go at quiet times and play a few holes we could but as non member we would need to book a tee time etc. What other benefits would a membership give me? Would it be worth it yet?
Thanks
