Not content on being one of the priciest (note, I said one of) clubs in England, it appears that they are now going to usurp the "ordinary golfer" from Wentworth's membership.

Is there such a thing at Wentworth?

On the flip side, I do actually feel sorry for the current membership, especially those who have been there for years. Get the feeling that Sunningdale's waiting list is about to get a lot longer.

The PGA will go soon as well - as will the ability for guests to play etc. It will turn into an "exclusive club"

No big loss tbh as its nice but there is a lot better in the area.

Shame about the members though but im sure most can afford elsewhere.

Will be interesting to see which clubs in the area soak up the people who don't pay the debenture. Estimating 2750 people looking for a new club, lot of people, but also a lot of money in membership fees.

Umm in post 2 I was saying the PGA "Champs" would be leaving Wentworth - thought that would be self explanatory and it appears the next response from Chris showed it was by his suggestion that it would move to the London Club

And again post 5 is suggesting the event could move around

Phil wasn't wrong about anything though, was he?

The PGA he referred to is the tournament, The BMW PGA Championship, you may be aware of it, it's quite important!

Another pompous post!

Yes I have heard of the BMW PGA Championship which was not obviously being referred to .

The PGA is the acronym for a professional trade body and when used in relation to tournaments would more usually be considered to mean US PGA, a "major" rather than "quite important" event.
 
Thanks, I try!

So Phil, Chris, Duckster & I all understood what was being talked about, but you didn't, so Phil was wrong?

I think not!

The PGA champs was exactly what I was referring too and everyone else clearly understood what I was referring too

Wentworth is famous for hosting the PGA Champs and it's normally called the PGA by everyone I know and regualry on here l.

You not only try but continue to be very trying,

As I have said the PGA is an organisation based at The Belfry not a tournament played at Wentworth. Ask a meber of the former.

Adieu to the forum.
 
Well done forum, this thread took a very a mature and sensible path. Time of the month or something?:confused:
