  Ive had a quiet no rules club I started back aways just for the free putter pal I was using....I met a few players in Alt shot and invited a few in to help rank up and had about 15-20 members total for about 9 months....

  Until recently every day for the last few weeks Ive had 2-5 new members per day join my club? I have no idea why....Is there something funny going on? I went from 15-20 to 63 in just a few weeks.Just curious is all...I did no advertising and heck I haven't even played that much lately either.

  Quite interesting...CC owners routinely advertise for members (or poach)...tough to grow a good club, as there are so many in competition with each other. I did notice that 9-12 of your members haven't done anything for many months, even a year. Recommend you clear the deadwood, so you have a more active CC...and a better idea of actual participants.

  GL to you, though.

  There's an issue which brings players to apply to a CC inadvertedly.

  A pop-up of the game window will cause this without any confirmation, and it may be clicked inadvertedly if it pops up while you want to check your bag or click somewhere else in the game window.

  Then, if the CC owner accepts members without confirmation from his side, a new CC member is born ex machina. Or, he likes the applicant and accepts him.

  If you had no interest in running a CC, it's odd that you started one, rather than just join one which provided Putter and Shot pals. 

  Anyway, as I've said...gl bro.:)

  Yes same here, although you can triple the amount of removals , I do advertise in this forum but rarely has someone joined because they have seen the ad in this thread. I did ask a reasonably reliable recent (legend) member how he found my club & it was from the search Country Club section, as for all the other Hack   recent recruits I haven't a clue , it seems you delete 2 off them & 3 re  appear lol

  I see the guys point also. My dollars worth
