    I find it very unfair my cc with 135 members has to  compete against a club with 200 or more that always gets first place just by sheer numbers

    Not so true.

    The key to winning a Clash is participation = games played. Of course, a big CC with all members playing is a force, but it may be different.

    A few more thoughts:

    Winning clashes is not the goal of the Events - amassing points is.

    Match setting may be more difficile than you think: Two CCs must be available at the same time to start a game, and nobody wants to wait forever for a fit.

    Lol, I tell you Chambers Bay and Olympic are tough when your not used to Championship greens.

    Yes these things are all about buying Golf Balls and passes, nothing else

    Olympic - yeah that would be tough with Championship greens. All I've seen in this clash is Erin, which is totally tough enough for me.
