Advantages to paying high green fees..

plain and simple I hate playing golf with rich people

i'm not too sure I understand that you hate playing golf with rich people, it sounds like you hate playing golf with jerks.

you're inevitably going to be playing with people who have a bit of disposable time and money if you're ever going to play golf, let alone on some of the nicer courses around. i've played some tracks where the green fees were more than a week's pay at my first job out of school, and rarely have I ever been paired up with jerks (usually I've found the really well-off guys keep their wealth close to the vest and only incidentally drop a clue to their situation). on the other hand, i've played some munis where Joe Hacker thinks that the local goatpatch is Augusta and therefore owns the world... i'm assuming that after going to college at bowdoin (48k a year) you probably have SOME perspective and experience interacting with the financially well to do...

you are correct sir... here in the great state of MA we have nice (private) and muni

anything nice public course around here is completely overpriced and what not. I'm thinking FLA is the place for me, an abundant resource for moderately priced golf yeah, Bowdoin is an expensive place... landed me a few invites to TCC and Kittansett
