From Humble Beginings Now LEVEL 8
I am Sue,Owner of Craven Dale Country Club, born and bred in Yorkshire, England, happily married to director Mike (wtiger22).We have a mutual strong interest in most sports, specifically horse racing, rugby and golf.
I personally have been in a few clubs, all clubs had something that did not appeal to me. During that time I have seen all types of people and seen all types of situation all of which I believe between us Mike and I could have handled better.
What you often find with the great old t'internet is keyboard warriors who bully people because they are anonymous to them or you get those who just won't socialise by making any sort of comment on a forum for fear of being shouted down.
We aim to provide a club, which is a meeting place for all types of people from all types of backgrounds. Those a little more knowledgeable or affluent could get great satisfaction in helping someone less knowledgeable or less able to improve their game, whilst forging strong friendships along the way.
For those just starting out, on level one looking at someone who is level 100, it is an awfully big gap, starting out clutching your bag of basic beginner clubs and stepping out on to the fairway with newbie stamped all over you, But if given the chance, that newbie could be aided and could too blossom and shine and could skip through those early levels.
As children we know it was praise that brought us on, whilst people standing laughing at us just made us feel weak and inferior. I was bullied as a child and I do not want that for my club.
In normal life I have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, mobility can be very difficult, at times reduced to relying on someone to push me in a wheelchair. With this game it is possible to even out those who struggle to take part in the real life activity of golf and the game can be something which can provide joy and challenge to their world.
Most of all I want a club that will exceed expectations every day in every way to all members, I want it to be filled full of good people however needy they are, with the ability to weed out the less desirable personalities or traits that would not work in the Clubhouse.
For fun, pleasure with no other demands placed on you other than to use your club pass daily, then please join us. We are here waiting to welcome you
Here At Cravendale Country Club
The ethos of our club is to create a place where established players get the opportunity to develop their own game whilst at the same time having the opportunity to pass on the benefit of their experience to newer members of the club. There is no pressure on anyone here to do anything that they do not wish to do, however we do not understand why someone would wish to join a club and then take no part in any of its activities.
Our club was created by a husband and wife team,both of whom had been members of various different clubs, we have both sampled the very best And the very worst that country clubs have to offer within wgt, and now it is our aim to bring together the best bits of what we have seen and try our very best to omit the worst bits!
The result of this will hopefully be a club where you can feel valued,safe,part of something And most importantly comfortable at whatever level you wish to or are able to play this great game at.Because here we understand better than most that we cannot all be champions But we can all have fun trying to get there and we certainly can make some lifelong friends on that journey.
so if this sounds like your kind of club then why not jump aboard and take the journey with us?
Mike
