The least good things about your Club.

[Captainron]

I was a member of a Jewish club for years and the main complaint was “ can’t have a bacon roll” golfers !

Is this a club with 2 courses up in Leeds?

 

[Slab]

Closest I can get to anything on the list is raking bunkers. They are raked btw, its after rainfall, if no player has been in that bunker its not re-raked by the club. So visually they look fine but the rain compacts the surface and it really could do with a redo

Not on the list. Moving tee markers out-with the recommended 10yards, boils my noodle that marker locations for mixed comps aren’t treated the same i.e if you move the mens comp tee forward/back then treat the seniors/ladies tees on that hole the same, don’t move one back and another set forward effectively doubling the disadvantage

No it’s in Liverpool.
But it goes for every Jewish club.

I've played a few times at Moor Allerton, outside Leeds. Smashing place, that's the same. You can get beef sausages there though so you can at least get a sausage sandwich.

We golfers are a sophisticated lot when it comes to pre round food on a trip

Yes beef is fine.

Moor Allerton is a fabulous place to play golf.
But it did suffer quite badly in the very wet weather we had last year!
Lots of work was going on when we were there.

Would that be the stretch of 19-27? Geography is against that 9 from memory.

I need to go back there. My swing fell apart last time and I had a mare . From nowhere........ crushing.

Lee Park?

 

[Voyager EMH]

Are there any atheist golf clubs anywhere?

Or Celtic Pagan ones?

All 27.
The greens were still good and the tees were fine.
But the staff obviously had not been able to get the mowers on the course with the water it was holding.
Balls plugging on fairways, if you went in the rough forget it.


It’s a top class course as you know and is probably fine by now
It was 12 months ago I was there.
They had a big bunker renovation going on putting linings in them.

It’s not the place to lose your swing it’s a proper test of your golf and can kill the best never mind us mortals.

 

[clubchamp98]

Lee Park?

Yes.
Great club .

The thing about Jewish clubs is you get so many reciprocal courses all over the world .
Most other Jewish courses will let you play free with a letter from the Secretary.
I have played all over the UK and most are great quality courses.

You could play Croquet at Stone Henge.

You could play Croquet at Stone Henge.

Or maybe just slaughter a critter there in a sacrificial way as Abraham did?

I thought you were a Pastafarian.

I’d be fine with that.

 

[chico]

I never knew such courses existed. Are there a lot of Jewish courses in the UK?

There's one in Solihull, Birmingham.

Legend goes ( don’t quote me) that people didn’t trust Jewish people not to try and take over the club.
This was straight from a Jewish member of the committee, but not sure if it was true or not!
Could be a biased view.

So they were refused entry into clubs.

So they opened their own. But let others join , finance I suppose.

The clubhouse used to close on Jewish holidays but course stayed open.

Coombe Hill in Kingston upon Thames is another very fine course. MAGC should be in superb nick at the moment & at £30 winter rate midweek, an absolute steal. It was July before it was playable this last year.

Yes that's what I understand happened back in the day.

Yep. Historically, antisemites did not let Jews into their golf clubs, so they built their own.

Not being racist themselves, anyone else was free to join.

Odd how antisemitism isn't classified as racism by some.
