Private Golf Courses Vs. Public Golf Courses

One of the many dilemmas of a golfer is: "Should I spend a lot of money on joining a private club, or do I play at public courses?" There is no right or wrong answer; it just depends on what you are looking for. Both private golf courses and public golf courses have their advantages and disadvantages.

A public course is ideal for the golfer that does not play very often. What's the sense in paying every month for a membership that does not get used? If you don't play more than once a week over the summer, and do not play often during the winter, a public course would probably make more economic sense. Also, if you are all about trying out new courses, and see yourself getting bored playing the same eighteen holes every time you play, then definitely consider a public course.

A private course on the other hand, is best for a golfer that plays multiple times during a week, and frequently plays over the winter. More money would probably be saved in the long run in paying a set amount of money each month on membership and a cart pass, than to pay fifty to one hundred dollars for every round.

A private club is very attractive because of the social atmosphere. Not only can you and your friends go out and play at a familiar place, but you have the potential to meet more people with similar interests. It is also a great place for networking, and making good connections. Many private clubs have weekly leagues and hold special member tournaments that are very fun to participate in. They are often a great way to make friends. Some leagues even have special events where you can play at other courses against players from different courses.

Depending on what you are looking for, and how much money you are willing to spend, both private and public clubs have their ups and downs. It pays to research specific prices; as there are expensive private clubs, and public courses.

Why can't I post messages in some Yahoo! public fantasy games? (Answers: 2) (Comments: 0)
I am currently participating in the Yahoo! NFL Pick 'em game, but, when I try to post a message on the public message board there (for all players), I get a message that I am blocked from posting messages. I got this message also for the Yahoo! fantasy golf public message board. Is the public message board for each game available for anyone who has signed up to play the game? If so why can't I post? There are tons of people posting. I believe the golf board had over 25,000(?) messages by the year's end. I have no warnings or black marks against my username at all...Thanks in advance... Greg, thankyou for the post...I haven't had any problem posting on the boards of leagues I am in, but some of the areas of certain fantasy games are common to all players, whether they are in a league or not, and these areas have boards, also. In other words, for some Yahoo! fantasy games, it is not necessary that I even be in a league to play. Good examples are Golf, NFL Pick 'em, and NFL Salary Cap Football. For anyone that joins a league to compete in these games, there is a message board available for the league. I haven't had a problem posting on the league message boards. The problem has been with the message board for everyone who is playing the game, including all league players. These message boards appear next to the overall at large rankings for the fantasy game under the "overall" link...
