The golfclub I am a member of is great. Snobs are " tolerated", the vast majority of members being great.
We have public paths across the course and there are no issues. Except for a couple of years ago when a family decided to set up chairs on a green for a picnic! As golfers we have to take care for safety of people but some people walking the paths have no idea....they see us waiting to hit balls and make no effort to move, even stopping for a chat. A shout requesting a move usually works. Common courtesy needed by some. There are actually more issues with members playing too slow.....
In my experience clubs have varying attitudes by members. MSCC is no exception.
I find Taffmog great. Very welcoming to us as new members and no snobbishness.
The opposite in fact....we look forward to the noggins which get noisy with fun.
The club area is large with 3 noggins to cater for distance so we tend to go to our "local" one. However, meeting people from the others is great. Very friendly.
MSCC to me is still worth membership, but I believe it needs updating to improve interest/member participation etc.
it needs "modernisation" re electronic magazine as an option, technical articles with positive links to Gomog/morganatica/Talkmorgan even!!!!
Mogtalk definitely needs updating to TM style access for members.
TM is my first pirt of call before any others...well done TM.
Bloody hell! That post sounds serious in tone......
Off to drive to have fun......
