Maybe it’s a club where you have to have a house there to play. That would be the only logical way. Someone willing to throw down 1.2 million for a membership is lacking a bit of intellegence. Does anyone else sense a ■■■■■?</p>

<p>It takes a special lack of perspective to live in a family with a dad that rich and not consider yourself risk. Or just being a ■■■■■…</p>

<p>^ agreed .</p>

<p>Tubbies, while I appreciate your modesty, you are rich. Your dad works for Goldman Sachs, for crying out loud!</p>

<p>As someone who eats, sleeps, and occasionally plays golf, I can tell you that $1.2 million for a membership is not ludicrous.</p>

<p>I could also tell you that paying such a hefty sum for a membership and then saying you’re not rich IS ludicrous.</p>

<p>If I were to tell you for some entirely irrelevant reason that I was ludicrous, then, being ludicrous, I certainly must be lying, and therefore I am not ludicrous at all.</p>

<p>Sorry. Couldn’t resist the temptation of paradox.</p>

<p>So what’s the class status of those who minigolf?</p>

<p>cool people like your mom.</p>

<p>No, because that would imply that it is a sport.</p>

<p>Any sport where a guy as unfit as Jon Daly can be considered a star is not a sport. Like a comedian once put it, you take the swinging out of golf and it’s basically walking.</p>
