But I think the idea of allowing singles a guest pass for whomever is a really good idea. One per single household!

I wouldn't bother with the priority membership except that I play a lot of golf - but still don't feel that single people are getting a fair shake.

Another obvious injustice. Guess I never noticed this disparity in the priority golf details. A small "administrative fee" making the single priority membership a little more than 50% of the cost of a couple is reasonable. 88% is outrageous! I suspect the small number of singles overall has resulted in the rest of us not being very informed about these inequities.
It's time for us couples to help keep these inequities in the public eye and help get them changed. It's a last resort and entirely distasteful, but I believe a legal challenge would quickly change these policies.
