Then why are you participating in this thread? This thread is about attracting new people to the sport and retaining them.
You are throwing up false barriers that are only relevant in your PMC, that is obviously self sustaining and will survive regardless of new golfers taking up the game. Your point may be a good one for your club, and I appreciate that, but it is not relevant to the discussion in this thread, or at least to the point about clubs attracting and retaining new to the game members.
This thread is about 'the problem with golf', not just about attracting new people to the sport and retaining them.
