I would vote private membership. But anyway where are people finding $3k or $2.5k per year membership at private courses? That is really low, has to be a junior membership no? Here in NY-NJ private memberships are going to run you at least
$15-150k per year, not to mention intiall fees. I wish I could find a cc club in your prices ranges.

Yeah.. I can imagine it being very expensive in NY. I'm in the Philly area very close to Delaware so the prices start at 2.5K and thats just the initiation fee, for some reason they all are hurting for members. So now is the time to try to get in at a low cost. It probably cost alot for a round of golf in NY, I played the Beth Page Black Course last year and it cost my $120.

this is not exact but from i have been hearing the going rate for most typical clubs in the philly market is 7 to 15k initiation, 5 to 8 k in dues.

the dues have remained stable but the initiation is typically about half of what it was two years ago. of course the philly cc, philly cricket, aronimick and those types of places have kept the cost high...but they are in a different league.

I live in the Delaware County area, outside of Philly near Delaware and below are a couple of private courses that are interesting. They have this executive membership for the 25 - 35 age group which is around 2.5K - 3K. The club that really impress me is Dupont, it has three courses.

since i rarely take a cart when i play, i'd go with option 2. why not just buy a cart? i'm sure you can find a decent used one for around $500

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
