Spoke to the steward about the club rules. Whilst they aren't the rules I'd have, at the end of the day thems the rules, so if I want to join that's how it works. Happy to join on that basis.
But I am damned if I am going to go along with any future rule changes. I am joining on today's rules and whatever they want to do in the future is upto them. Why should I agree to abide by any future rule changes these guys wish to make, especially when I am not consulted on them.
Discuss. [Post edited 11 Dec 2020 13:10]

I'm not. Nor do I like golf as it happens. It's up there with driving a Volvo - you have permission to shoot me if I ever seriously suggest it. | |

Sorry, I'm clearly a bit dozy today! But leave off with all that metaphorical stuff, laggers. It's bloody Friday! | |

That's because despite much of the intellectual posturing on here, the majority of us are actually quite thick. | |

Ok. So is Boris right to refuse to sign up to the EU's rules of dynamic alignment? | |

Golf's only posh and racist if you play it with posh racists!
I don't play much now, but at the public course I got to, the only rules are unofficial: wear trainers and jeans and make sure you've got a couple of pre-rolleds on you as it's a real pisser skinning up on a windy course. |  |

Ully I'm surprised at you
I feel like I should whoosh you, but that seems unkind | |

Especially if they let women on the course in future. You need to guard against that. |  | | |

I'd say golf club members are snobbish racists, rather posh ones. | |

That's not really what is happening though. This is probably the only area where I can see why the government can't agree to what the EU want.
It's more like you joining a different golf club with similar rules to this one but then later on the other club changes their rules drastically but even though you're playing at a different club you have to change them as well with no say in the matter.
Just another folly of the position, if we were members at the other golf club instead then we would get a say in the rule changes.

Not sure I follow. The EU is a club and has rules (Or the Single Market does)
Why do we think we can avoid playing by the rules of the club we wish to join? If they choose to change them, surely we have to play by the new rules? That's how clubs work.
And if you don't like it, you don't join up. But if you do join up, you accept they have rules and the ability to change them as they see fit? | |

It's a punitive measure, Canada have access to the single market but aren't subject to a divergent rules policy.
I tend to agree, if you want access to something that has rules then your rules shouldn't allow you to take advantage in a way that other members can't.
However I can also see how it would be a huge problem for the Brexiteer government to accept those rules.

Much easier to shoot yourself in both feet so you have an excuse not to play golf at all with people who play more competently and intelligently than you.
Particularly when you have shares in other types of clubs that will pay lovely dividends for you not to join that particular golf club. |  |
