I actually do have a few Payne Stewart style pants. Argyle socks.
The only problem with golf in NH is the short season.

I think the FFA should open a club, my only request is a bowling alley, a supply of bananas, and a condom machine in the bathroom.

I live a few miles from some pretty sweet country clubs. One of them is Victoria National Golf Club in Newburgh, IN. Place is outstanding. I have been on a tour before it ever opened. The greens are nicer than my carpet. If you can not hit the fairway, you better bring a lot of balls because they built this thing around some old stripper pits.

Been considering joining the local one. Mostly not for the golf, but the great pool and family/kids stuff. If I feel like golfing, I could go out and play a round on a Saturday morning, wife takes the kids to the pool/beach, then we all convene around lunchtime by the restaurant area at the pool and eat/drink. Sounds pretty sweet. It ain't cheap, but ain't outrageous either.
My wife's friend justifies it because her husband takes clients there to play golf. I don't play much golf and don't have clients on Long Island, so I'm not sure I can justify it the same way. Also I have to imagine lots of the people must suck. Otis getting lit up and challenging some dude with a popped collar to a push-up contest probably doesn't go over well there.

Play in the "member-guest" and socialize. Youll quickly find out if its doucheville or not.Otis said:
Joining a country club so buffy and the kids can swim is a gigantic waste of money. Theres two good reasons: playing lots of golf and using your membership to increase your business interests

This one has a couple membership levels, one is way cheaper for pool/beach/tennis/rest of the facilities minus golf (and I'm sure I could still play the course, just pay for it, when I want to). This seems way more sensible for someone like me.

Social members of most clubs can only play golf as a guest. Meaning you are no different than a non-member and have to be accompanied by a member who will be required to pay a guest fee for you which tends to run at least a hundred bucks.

Also, anybody else seeing popped collar guy burying Otis in a push-up contest? Country club members tend to be pretty fit relative to your garden variety desk jockey.

If you are in it for the golf there are many clubs these days which are reasonable. A decent golf course that has ~$65 greens fees as a guest is around $5K initiation and $400/mo. Worth it if the initiation is not a big deal and you play every weekend.
If you are retired or can play several times a week then it's a deal.
The high end country clubs are more like $100K-$400K initiation and $1000+/mo. The doosh factor of the people in their 20s and 30s at those places is off the charts.

Mine would be less than 2% at current income level, if I do the full membership with golf. Probably less than 1% if I skip on the golf membership. Seems reasonable.

Clubs with 100k-400k entry don't charge full price to <35. They usually give them an install plan with the idea you pay it off at 35, or just drop out.
For example a popular club for younger dbs here is 60k to join outright. If under 35 you can get in for 5k up front and pro-rate the 55k out to age 35-age per month plus dues which are in the 450 range monthly. So if you join at 25 you are looking at a 150k outlay roughly for 10 years.

I guess I hit somewhere around 5% of my gross income. For the amount of disposable income I have, it's worth it. The club I just joined has a pretty interesting list of members, one of them is Mitt Romney's family. There are a few A-list actors and some professional athletes who also pay membership dues. Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs and I played a few rounds last summer. Nice guy but not a very good golfer.

I almost joined. Pool for the family and golf for me. I would probably play 4 times a week, at least. The pool is open for roughly 3 months and they charge $2 per hole for a cart. I'm not opposed to walking, but that's insane to charge so much for a cart. I passed and joined a swim club instead.
I've visited the club a few times and the lifestyle is somewhat appealing. Until you start having conversations with the other members and realize it's complete dooshville. Guys were ok, but the moms... The f###ing moms. Snobby, stuck up, entitled, unappreciative b####es. Pass.

Sounds like the guys are simply supplying the life to their wives. Please tell me they are trophy wives. If they are going to be bag o'doosh, at least let them be attractive.
I don't mind walking the course in the summer. My job doesn't really allow me to get on the course until mid-afternoon most days so having a cart, fully loaded with cigars and beverages, is a must.
Handicaps? I eliminated mine years ago. I usually hit in the low 70s. My short game has come a long way over the past decade.

Most women dream of having that life, even if they don't admit it. A life where they have all they want, answer to no one, and are envied by other women. Those women got to their goal, so now they're free in their own mind to be #####y and superior.

Pretty bold statement coming from a guy who takes his name after a children's cereal.

You know I keep it real, Shots. I spend most of my time in Montreal, sipping expensive drinks, sitting in expensive seats watching the Habs, while smoking high class Cuban cigars.
