Feedback: Thoughts on membership requirements at The Pines

About: "Thinks better idea would be to drop country club image"

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I play golf at least two times a year. If I keep my Georgia driver's license I can play how many times a year without paying the $1,000 membership fee (at The Pines at Lindsey Wilson)?

How many times can I play golf with my friends and relatives without paying the membership fee? I believe the college owns the golf course now and the college can mandate the price to play there, but I won't pay the $1,000 to play that course.



Wouldn't a $30.00 greens fee per person per round be better for the course than zero?

I am only asking this in order to be educated as to the rules and the thinking behind the rules, and the $30.00 greens fee is merely a number and not a suggestion.

At the last course I used, I paid an initiation fee ($750). They also required a $75.00 monthly minimum be spent at the course for food at the restaurant and supplies for golf.

Members paid the same as greens fee players for golf carts. That course was struggling to keep the course from being pasture, too. I realize I have taken the liberty to exercise my freedom of speech as a true American, and as Grandpa McCoy used to say, "I've had my say!"

I would truly like to be inspired by truth and reason.

s/Charles Marshburn
