Inside the day to day joys of club management

@secretclubprov That’s definitely the greenkeepers fault for having a skeleton team on during a winter weekend 😂😂 don’t they know winter league is the 5th major

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

@secretclubprov Shrinking memberships globally yet clubs persist in them….. let people wear what they want and enjoy the game we love!

Well in a shocking turn of events the committee have decided to….. drum roll…..

Freeze the fees for 2026

Despite costs in all areas of the business soaring we are sitting still….. looking forward to appraisals and wage reviews already

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

That time of year when business sense flies out the window and committee gets to flex their power and decide…. Cost of running a club up 8+ percent BUT fees will remain the same

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

So Country Club Snob has been deleted…. Shame…. We Jimmy and the boys will be happy though as far to much of an insight as to the goings on at the club…. @AngryGolfPro watch you back 😳

Andy Murray has been an amazing ambassador for Scotland and of course sport and taking nothing away from him …. But please don’t label him as best ever scott…. Jackie stewart / colin mongomerie / rhona martin / eve muirhead / Chris hoy … to name a few ..ALL have done so much !

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

@MMcEwanGolf Colin Montgomerie….. that’s all I’m saying …. Ryder cups / order of merits / countless wins / longer career….

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

What’s our thoughts on this set up?

In today’s modern market it just looks odd and wrong…. Some may say quirky or nostalgic but that’s it…

Sooo why o why are committees still acting like this and not evolving too??

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

@secretclubprov Can I 10000% assure you it’s not the GM’s that want to put them up either it’s mick on the committee as being 2 faced he wants to say one thing to the members and moan yet do another … 🤦‍♂️

Today’s medal was won by Stan the man- Shot 49 points..Place going mad- Should be banned/No over 18 handicap can win/Only full members can win
What I missed out was-
Stan is 21 - just started the game and is a very sporty lad getting weekly lessons

Surey great advert for pro??

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

@ScottHastings13 @Scotlandteam I have heard a story that the cup went missing for a short period…. A certain scotland team won it a few years back and were throwing it round on the North Bridges near the Carlton Hotel…. Any truth in that @ScottHastings13 😉

@golfmanagergm As long as a pint is £2.90 and there are no visitors allowed on a Thursday 10am for the Thursday club then the culture will be just fine!!

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

2 hours of my life I won’t get back…. Mr P fell asleep at the meeting…..clubhouse convenor wants less social media posts and posters in front of urinals instead…. Catering convenor has decided that tate n lyle sugar is not good enough and we need to source better 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

Wish me luck folks….. Thursday night committee meeting night starts in 2 minutes…. President tee’d off at 10am with the old boys and been sat in the bar since so is blocked…. Dave the captain is on holiday so big P is chairing the meeting…. Hic…. Hic. 🍺🥃🍺🥃

@bertmackay1 @SpeyBayGC @LinksDAO @MattGinella @TheChristinaKim @VisitScotland @VisitMoray @IMGPrestigeGolf @kevinmurraygolf @GolfDigest @ScottishGolf @GolfMonthly Auld Jock from the 7.30 tee time every Wednesday will be over to ur club as that’s one of his balls he’s had for 48years and his pride and joy….. doesn’t need any of that new fan-dangled rubbish on the market!!

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

@theweeman77 Why don’t the members put a proposal together to take over the running of the club and make it a viable business??

Only curious that’s all….,

[Secret Golf GM @SecretgolfGM]

@ukgolfguy Sure just ask mr happy himself @ivormeddler his 4ball with an av age of 68 and av handicap of 40 would do it quicker if the greens crew wiped dew off greens faster in the mornings ⛳️🤦‍♂️
