The Grinder Of Pars (Semi Crocked)
Really ? A joining determined by what HC you are ? Blimey that's really poor
And not at all "Elitist".....
We are going to have to have an interview when we join Whipsnade...Not really a problem but, to my mind, not entirely necessary.
All 3 of us are long-standing CONGU handicap holders and Club Members.
CVG's been playing nearly 40 years, I've played for nearly 25 and Fragger for a few less....Probably nigh on 80 years between us.
We know how to play and behave. We have a decent grasp on the rules and follow the ettiquette of the game...And we have money!
We've gathered enough info from the Pro and some Members to have worked out that the club meets what needs we have. The above shows that we will meet the requirements of the club.
Job done.
Or should be.
Not really a rant as I've no problem with the system if that's what the Club requires.
But it might put off a total newbie.
My first club was a " money on the table, fill in form, here's your bag tag" system. - perfect for newbies.
There needs to be clubs at this level, ones that are that easy to join.
There's a place for all systems though...
