Picking a club

  Advertising may not be a good test, sorry ct.  Black Diamond GC stopped advertising over 2 years ago and our membership has been steady.

  A key warning about clubs who advertise all the time:  How big are they already?

  There is a 250 member limit for clubs.  If a club is close to that and is advertising, it suggests they kick existing members in a heart beat.  So if you are not playing every day, do not join that club.

  "Advertising may not be a good test, sorry ct."

  No need to apologize. I was of the mindset that if a CC is actively recruiting, then the CC itself would be somewhat active. A common reason people want to join (or switch) a CC is because the one they are currently in is too quiet.

  “ Black Diamond GC, which I am owner of (hate that term), is in #5.”

  ———-

  I’ve moved toward “Facilitator.”  Even “Manager” implies too much authoritarianism to me, let alone “Owner” seeming like your members are property or chattel.

  Cheers, Tom.
