    The AJRoberts and Friends CC is looking to recruit new members (of all tiers) that are going to be reliable, active members. We organise lots of different internal competitions and have played many CC v CC Matchups.
    However, recently we have struggled to get a high percentage of players fulfilling their membership by playing in the CC Tournies and letting opponents down in CC v CCs.
    Therefore, I'm having a clear-out and recruitment drive - if you are a relatively serious WGT player that wants great banter (Skype included as an option), great competition and a hardcore of about 20 really top quality members and good players (we are top heavy with one TL,Ls,Tms and Ms) we'd like to have you! Come and have a look!
    Please however -read the information below before deciding! Hope to catch you on the course soon - SHOOT LOW ALWAYS!  
    Our current make up is 36 members of which our tiers are: 1 Tour Legend, 14 Legends, 6 Tour Masters, 11 Masters, 3 Tour Pros and 1 Pro.
    Very few of our players (five if memory) have joined us at a higher rank than  Master so many of our core members have been with us as they have ascended through the tiers.
    WELCOME TO THE AJRoberts and Friends Country Club
    We are a deliberately small friendly club finding our size enables us to dynamically vary in line with the needs of our active members.   We encourage all members to regularly check their club’s forums and participate in these and all other aspects of club life from the off.

    Lower tiered members often find they benefit from tips posted by more experienced players.  Any less experienced player is very encouraged (should they choose) to contact more experienced players for rounds and shoot the breeze as necessary!

    The forums will make it all much clearer!

    Members are also very welcome to set up club competitions. It’s difficult to stress enough that this is a small friendly, no heirs and graces club designed to allow an environment where all can have fun, and take their game to whichever level they choose!

    We hope that you find your new club meets your expectations.  

    Terms of membership are limited but for the good of all we impose them rigidly:

    1.       All members must treat others in a respectful way. Breach of this will result in immediate termination of membership.

     2.       We understand circumstances vary in people lives, but we exist to cater for good people who want to participate on a regular basis.  Members are therefore encouraged to let me know, as soon as possible, if they will not be able to actively participate in club for a period exceeding 30days.

    3.         Due to our active, small and friendly nature we usually terminate membership WITHOUT notice if this becomes the case. If you do find you membership has been terminated because of this, and wish to re-join we will of course consider each individual circumstance on its own merits.

    4.         We welcome players of all abilities but must stress that participation in one of our Internal Tournaments every month (not much to ask for) needs to be fulfilled.

    5.         We also need to stress that if you wish to be involved in a CC v CC Matchup - YOU WILL DO THE UTMOST TO CONTACT your opponent and fulfill the fixture! Likewise if you are contacted by your opponent YOU WILL ACCEPT the fixture and ensure you can agree a suitable date and time for both of you! 

    6.         Some of our members are more than happy to contact each other via Skype (calls rather than video links) and chat as they play - although there is no pressure for everyone to do this - it's an option if you fancy it!

    As owner I try and make it my personal responsibility to befriend any new member and play with/against them within their first week of joining! 

     ENJOY AND SHOOT LOW! 

    Alan                                                                                                                                                                    (AJRoberts and Friends CC Owner)

    If you are looking for a a CC, this is the one you want. All members are friendly and courteous.  I have been with this club for a while and started as a TP on the verge of Master.  Met AJ in a game and he told me about his CC and invited me. I joined and have not regretted it since.  I have met several nice people here and they have passed info to me to help with my game.  In this CC we do give tips and tricks to help with your game, they are not state secrets as some people on this game lead you to believe. 

     

    As AJ stated above, we are a small friendly CC.  We tend to help those lower tiers when they are need of help. We are not pushy, to the point of telling you how to play, just encourage you to play the club, the tourneys and the other games set up by AJ. He works hard to make this CC what it is, all is asked is to participate in the club, whether it is the tourneys, internal or CC-vs-CC, or just the forums.  We have replay post of great shots, good shots, mess ups and those that leave you scratching your head.  We banter back and forth and ask questions of each other, 

     

    We are looking for lower tier players as we are lousy with higher tiers now, which most have tiered up in the CC from the tips given freely between each other. A post in the forums, which is encouraged very much, is answered swiftly by someone that knows the answer.  If you join I can not stress enough that you visit the CC forum daily, if just once.  There is always something going on.  The top tier players always have something to say, joke or just tips. We are like a small family on WGT, as AJ mentioned above, we skype (free service and voice rather than video) and it makes the game more enjoyable as you do not have to type and if you are like me, I can't spell to save my life.  It is a time saver, just say it and no need to type it out and miss half a conversation, lol. 

     

    So please consider our small, but very friendly CC.  If AJ can not play you in the first week, he hasn't missed one yet, one of us can.  We will all welcome you in and help when you if asked. And when and if you join and something comes up and you can not play as stated above, a quick personal message to AJ or CC forums is all that is asked of you. Again, can not stress this enough, read and post in the CC forums.  If you join, be part of the CC.  

    Thank you,

    Roy

    The above is all simple stuff. basically it boil's down to a great place to be for some one is is active, considerate to other's, and wants to improve their game in a competitive, free of silly cliques way or simply have fun.  Member's often play just alternate shot whilst "skyping" and it's simply great fun for those that wish to do that, no pressure to do so.

    Personally I joined the club when I was L70 something.  I never expected much, but to my I came across some very good people.  They were both fun just to hang with, and gave me a reason to improve my game as well as helping with it.

    I went from a who cares too much L70 something Legend through to Tour Legend because of this club.  I am no top player but if Tour Legend is possible for me, it show's the club can help any one either achieve goals. Simply having fun is also fine.

    FWIW I recommend this club.

    I gotta chime in here too. The AJR club is great. !! I have been approached by several friends to join their CC, but always say that I am happy with the club I am in. It is a small club, but quality is not about quantity when it comes to good people.

    I am not friends with all members, ( which is not my choice) but the people I am friends with are great. We all get along and " drama" is not a word we know within the club. Take a good look at this club if you want to meet some great people and learn some new stuff. I am willing to play with any player regardless of tier. I'm not a top player, but I have a few tricks that some may find helpful. It's  all about fun and friends here as the name of the club would imply....... AJRoberts and friends .

    If you're looking for a laid-back, easy-going bunch of guys to share your miseries AND your happier moments on this site, you couldn't ask for a better Country Club to join. These guys will help you any way they can and not put you down or be impatient with you. At first, all I wanted to do was just learn how to play this silly game and be left alone.....but I found out, all of us need a little motivation and suggestions at times. I'm happy to be a member here, even though I don't get to participate a lot as far as 'hanging out' and forums, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here at A.J.'s. Come join us and you won't be sorry.
