(1,586 posts)Never played, but I used to like watching for the beautiful serene settings. Then, I learned how exclusionary, masoginistic, and racist these clubs were/are. Sure some had to be dragged into the 20th Century, at the time, so no. It's a bunch of rich white guys that tolerate the "others". A place to get away from their wives, have private "man" time sometimes with little scantily clad bunnies to ogle and where "business deals" can be made without prying eyes and the guy with the most power, ie. money can cheat without a peep. Where one can hit a miraculous hole in one every other month and make himself a golf champion because he fills out a scorecard based on the honor system of which he's totally void of.
I'll bet it used to be a nice way to get some walking, social time in. What a shame. Everything he touches.
To you guys/gals that genuinely enjoy the sport, this is not directed to you. Please enjoy the game and for you couples that play together, more power to you.
