do they really want members

Been playing now 2 years and looking to join a club to meet others and also reduce the cost per round. Our pro covers two courses and recommended one. He gave  us advice which we acted upon. Try the clubhouse first- check in with the pro shop, tell the stewards who you are etc. We did and had a good lunch. Next time a group of seniors made us welcome. the third visit t was to collect kit from the shop and have tea. What a shock!  A club employeein the clubhouse was so aggressive she terrified my wife. I wrote to the secretary with  details. To date, after four weeks no response at all. A number of members we have spoken to assure us the treatment and lack of response is normal. Does this club really want new members? They have dropped the joining fee and have open days with free rounds.  Fortunately we have plenty of choice and the other 3 clubs we are looking at have bent over backwards to welcome us.

what club is it ? or area if that is best for you 2 say

Give this club a miss, but do write to the club again and explain why you will be joing another golf club near to them!

Maybe, just maybe, somebody in there will wake up!

Chris,

Four weeks is not a long time in a Golf Club. Your letter may have had to be put in front of The Committee and they only sit every month.

Golf Clubs, specially small groups within, can be very fussy.

Maybe an immediate response to let the writer know the matter is with the committee. Not too much trouble surely.

As David says, committee's only sit once a month unless there's a problem.

If you like the place and the members you've met there give the Secretary a call and ask if your application has gone astray. It will act as a backhanded reminder to them, and also give you an indication of just what is going on.

Be a shame to kick the place into touch over a misunderstanding.
