Well guys, I went and did it... I just joined my 1st private country club... I have always been apprehensive about doing it before but I just could not pass up the opportunity for the price that was offered to me! My initiation fees were waived, I will never have to pay one and I am only paying $140's a month. This includes the use of all the facilities with the exception of the range and riding carts, I walk so this does not bother me. I would say that if you have the money, with the economy the way it is right now there are many great deals out there...

It is not a hard course but the greens are retarded! I played my 1st round directly after signing and I made my 1st eagle on the course already, a 540 yard straight away par 5, driver 3 iron to about 10 feet... Nice way to start my membership!

I am thinking of joining one as well.  I am not a very good golfer, in fact at times I am quite bad.  But like you said with almost every club waiving the normally ridiculous initiation fees, it just might be worth it.  Especially the "elite" clubs with pools, tennis, cigar bars and such.

Nice - hope you enjoy it.  Have been thinking of joining a club again but the local CC hasn't offered anything without an initiation fee (and my job is in flux and may require transfer so I'm not up for a fixed cost at this point).

Funny about your eagle - a few years ago when I belonged to a club the pro asked me to take a new member out for his first round.  Got to the 9th hole (a tough par 4) and he holed out from the fairway for an eagle. Saw him a month or two later and he hadn't even made par on that hole again - so be careful!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 203 3-8  Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.

      Lets see, Kapalua, and any other course played on Maui, Hualalai, Koolina and the course where the LPGA now plays the Lotte, Poipu, St Andrews, and Ballyliffen. I think that's it, never chased it but sure do enjoy playing Kapalua, Koolina and Hualalai. Will

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Updated feels Backswing 1. Knees stay at the same depth 2. Shift right 3. Right now it's imagining the hand path going right and up by raising the right arm. I imagine the hands holding the club while it is pointed up and behind me at my right shoulder.  4. Torso (belly) and hips stay facing forward.  Downswing 1. Mostly just straightening in combination with arms down behind me. I know my knees are bent, but it doesn't feel like much. It doesn't feel explosive because I am not going from a deeper squat.  2. Hands to right pocket or right foot. It should feel like my go down as my shoulders stay up. Stay taller. I don't need to use the body to get the club down.
