Golf is TTT and doesn't make you fit. Most amateur golfers are obese.
Country club food tastes like trash and is expensive
So what's the appeal |

Country clubs were pretty popular in Buffalo -- every family who could belonged to one, whether it was the $50k places or the $1k zoos.
In CA it's lol -- initiation is $250k+ on the Peninsula and they obviously aren't even close to being on the radar for any peers. |

I could definitely see the appeal back in the old days. Large, fun cocktail parties with bland food were the thing. People had a lot of time to get good at golf. Your firm or your company made sure you looked respectable on the course. Other fitness activities (b-ball, soccer, running, weightlifting) weren't as popular and modern home entertainment wasn't available, so guys hung out at the club to fill their time. |

Date: February 19th, 2018 12:28 PM Author: arousing casino Most people feel that way because they can't afford it.
The ones who can afford it but don't join just don't play golf, otherwise they would. Any WASP sees the appeal.
Also your confusing not joining with agreeing with OP.
I don't join Crossfit but I understand the appeal.

The number of holes played has declined significantly. The median age for players has jumped by 15 years. You're a moron if you think millenials see golf, country clubs, and social clubs in the same way their older cohorts did.

i don't know wtf was going on in 1990 but either 5M ppl started playing golf then quit the next year or they fucked up the calculation.
Golf is still recovering from the Tiger Woods, the housing bubble, ITE and millennial faggotry but it's silly to say that the trends in the years following all of that will continue indefinitely. people aged 30-39 is still one of, if not the largest cohort of golfers, despite that many of them had their lives upended by ITE. |

Date: February 19th, 2018 12:51 PM Author: Concupiscible Native As usual, you're mostly talking out of your ass. Public courses have gotten better and way too many were built during the golf/real estate bubble so people simply have more and cheaper options now if they want to play golf.
There are other factors like millennials being more interested in sticking things in their asses than playing golf or ppl working too much. Also, ITE was a big factor... ppl dropped memberships and never came back and younger ppl were too busy being unemployed and drowning in debt to even consider taking up golf.
either way, there still are more golfers now than there were 30 years ago. |

You can take them there and they'll be safe, can run around, take lessons, then you get to zone out for a while around similarly situated adults. I imagine it's a godsend for some people.
I hate all the local network shit but if you're multigenerational in the same area, country club membership will actually lead to a better career and more opportunities for many people. Also it's just nice to retreat into a social bubble with some regularity. The guys who are steaming mad about the state of the world feel that way because they don't have any respite from GC horrors and their prole comfort-seeking lifestyles. If you're 53 years old with older kids who hate you and still grinding a demanding job to pay for them, you'll be damn grateful for your idiot golf buddies at the club and the ability to get away from your fat demon of a wife.

Date: April 22nd, 2022 1:49 PM Author: carnelian national security agency area A golf courseless club that has a water park level of slides and diving boards, a real swim team with competent coaches, a real tennis set up that has competent coaches, a 180 gym, better food that’s more modern and healthy, and like a top golf or simulator or at most a driving range is a great idea. Millennials would flock to this if you could also make it a career booster and social hub for a neighborhood And they’d happily pay like $15k a year. Golf is fine very so often, but it’s the epitome of the 70s mentality of spreading out as much as possible. Every generic golf course I see in a random US suburb I want to buy and turn into a subdivision and make $50M. There should be like 2-3 really good public courses in a city and then a few country clubs just for rich people. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3897426&forum_id=2#44385627) |

Date: February 19th, 2018 2:21 PM Author: Stimulating Orchestra Pit Headpube I'm shocked so many people here are defending this shit. Country clubs seem like they are fucking relics from another time. The average age of members has to be late 60s and maybe even pushing 70?
Paying money every month for the privilege to eat at the equivalent of the restaurant in a Hyatt to "be seen" seems incredibly antiquated. |

But I guarantee you if you could go shoot in the 80's you'd enjoy it.
People also go out of their way to unnecessarily bash golf, kind of like soccer(which I admittedly hate). |
