Why Are Country Club Giving the Baby Boomer Golfers the Shaft?
Posted on April 13th, 2009 MrBusinessGolf View commentsComments I received an email from my golf club advising me of their New (Long Awaited) Rules and Regulations. From what I have heard, the last time the Rules of the Club was addressed Woodstock Music Festival had not taken place. Most of the Rules in this long awaited enhanced, modernized version of an antiquated document that outlines how the club will be run and the members are to abide by were to be expected. Stuff like new dress codes and where smoking at the is allowed (no place) where changes or added. However, one of the changes they snuck in was the one that will generate some negative press for the club and probably the ownership group that recently bought the club. The issue that most country clubs feel they have to address to survive the failed economy is how to lure the younger generation to become a member. This discussion has been going on at the Business Golf Country Club and other golf online groups for a few years.
