SHOULD WE PURCHASE A Country Club Membership?
by Max Johnson Are you thinking of purchasing a country club membership at a local country club? Compared to playing at different golf courses all of the time, purchasing a country club membership has many advantages and benefits. What are the advantages to owning a country club membership? Here is a list of five reasons to purchase a country club membership. 1. If you play golf on a regular basis, it could be more cost effective to become a member of a local country club. This way you are not shelling out a green fee every single time you play. In addition, most memberships would include your entire family. This would allow your spouse and children to play or learn to play the great game of golf. The great part about this is that you can get your kids
involved in this great game. Your child or children can become involved in the junior golf program that is offered and this may give you a way to spend more family time or one-onone time with your child or children. 2. Make no mistake, when you purchase a country club membership you are purchasing a lifestyle as well as a new social network. You will meet others with similar interests as yours at the golf course, pool or wine tasting. Many join a club just for the business connections that they are able to secure to help them grow their business. 3. Most clubs administer a handicap system. As you complete rounds of golf, you will turn in your scores and the handicap system will keep track of your handicap according to USGA Rules. Priority One Marketing Group, LLC | 23

5. People tend to practice golf where they play golf. Most clubs have good practice facilities that will allow you to practice all aspects of your game. Many country clubs have full service driving ranges that will allow you to practice half-wedge shots to the full swings with your driver. You should also make sure that the practice putting green is in similar shape and speed to the putting greens on the golf course.

Without a doubt, the Hawaiian islands boast of some very exquisite courses; but that is not all. Just being on the islands is a unique experience by itself. You can choose to visit a number of places when you plan
your Hawaii golf vacations: The excellent Kapalua Plantation course where the well known Mercedes Championships are held. Also, you may not want to miss playing on the Wailea Gold course that hosts the Senior Skins Game.

There is no doubt that Hawaiian golf vacations are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which if you plan ahead, can give you some of the best golfing experiences you can ever hope to achieve in your lifetime. Each of the different Hawaiian islands boasts their own unique golf courses, where there is lush greenery. Some may even be situated on top of some amazing lava flows. A good example would be the incredibly popular Mauna Lani, which has a couple of golf courses that will test your abilities, as you swing away while the winds blow at you fiercely. Then, there is Maui, which is another outstanding place where you could plan to play golf on your Hawaiian golf vacation . Not visiting here is akin to going to Paris and missing out on a visit to the Eiffel Tower. Other destinations in the Hawaiian islands for your golf vacations include places such as Kauai, Oahu, and Lanai. Whichever place you do choose, there is plenty to endear you. You just can’t go wrong here, whatever your golfing abilities are. You will find that your golf vacation will not be cheap in Hawaii, though. Many courses’ greens fees can exceed $100. So, do your research ahead of time and make your golf vacation dollars go as far as possible.
