Why Force A Bar Tab Credit

[Hacker Khan]

I suspect progressive clubs will do their best to encourage all sorts of members, including those that do not have the time to hang around. And non progressive ones won't adapt to the times and look down on those who don't always spend another hour or so out of the house.

I am all for supporting a club, but a lot of people also have jobs and families, and not everyone is lucky enough to be able to spend another hour or so on top of the 4 hour round, plus the time taken to drive there and back. And I'd never look down on those that do not stay.

I think Bluewolf made a good point, if clubs are so desperate to get people to spend money and time in the bar then lose the silly dress codes (yes I know, I always bang on about it, but in this case I think it is relevant) and you may make it more of a meeting place for more than just golfers who have played that day.

My club insists on this - £50 is added when you pay your subs.

It didn't really bother me as I'm going to have something to eat before/after (sometimes both! ) a round plus drinks so £50 will get spent.

Also, it supports the club.

I wouldn't have paid a joining fee and a bar levy though.

£100 on ours and if you don't spend it the remainder of it goes to the club and you have another £100 added for the next year.

As far as people saying they don't have time to spend it because of time after a full round etc do you never just pop down for a few holes at any stage during the year? Surely you could pop in then to help use it up?

15% off food and drink also.
