Golf Clubs and Concentration camps

[DodgyAgent]

Don't really get golf, but a mate plays at one of the two very nice looking municipal courses, and I doubt he gets this grief.

Commercially run clubs do not have this problem. The problem they do have though is slow play.

For example my son was ticked off for not wearing white socks with his shorts despite the fact that he looked fit and very smart.

Is that not like telling the police officer when you are caught speeding that you felt you looked smart in that crappy boxster of yours whilst doing it?

Clubs trying to feel elite and all about one upmanship

The police are trained to prosecute people without humiliating them.

No bodies given power they don't deserve, more a legacy of policits rather than anything in the clubs best interest.

Bet? Never been stopped by a copper who then takes the piss (he thinks he's being sarcastic) out of you?

I'd have told him to f**k himself. But then again, that's why I don't play golf as last time I played I told someone to f**k off.

The rules are there to keep out the riff-raff. From some of the comments on here it seems to work pretty well.

I think it would be a worry for anyone wanting to join a golf club that MF was a member of. Or one could always take the view that if they let him in I am a dead cert

I always assumed it was to keep the scum on the inside.

Sorry, completely disagree.

Golf is a great game and so much good has come out of the game as a social institution. My side and I , for instance, met over a blind fourball at a local club.

Your views are very blinkered. Have a read of Peter Alliss' A Golfer's Travels and you may change your mind.
