Regarding elitism, keeping in mind I'm a proud golfer, I've been denied service at a local golf course before (and I'm talking about slightly better than the local muni type of course).

Now.....I understand the dress code and I adhere to it. But when I meet up with friends on the weekend to hang, I'm sorry I don't do it in a polo and khaki's.....I go hang in a t-shirt and jeans.

We were bored one afternoon and a couple of them suggested to go hit up the course and so we went off and were denied. Go figure......those guys have never touched a golf club again. I love the sport too much to give it up.

Like I said.....I'm understanding of the reasons, but at the same time I understand the other side of the coin as many non-golfers find us to be pretty elitist.
