Golf looks like with Cheryl retiring soon we are playing the little white ball game again.
We played couples tournaments all over the Midwest for a few years. We won our age group several times.
Here locally at the time we had belonged to the Country Club. It's nice because they keep the membership at 500 or less. That includes social members who don't play golf. With that you can walk on about anytime without a tee time and play a beautiful and challenging course. We quit because Cheryl was working so much, and I was going to car shows almost every weekend. We just weren't using it. Since we quit, we hadn't played golf in three years.
So yesterday we rejoined. They made us a deal and gave us the new member rate through June 2023. The regular rate hasn't changed since we quit. It's a well-run club with a lot of operational money willed over the years by past members. The clubhouse was recently remodeled has a weight room, locker room, zero depth pool, great bar and restaurant, tennis facility, lots of activities, waited on hand and foot etc...
We walked in for lunch yesterday and the server remembered us by name, asked about our grandkids etc... We hadn't seen her in three years, hell I didn't remember her name. Just the kind of place it is though. Everyone knows everyone and no real attitudes.
