Looks like we are on the same wavelength here. If you belonged to a real CC you probably had $10K-$30K initiation investment and a requirement of $5K/year bar tab plus dues. I.E. substantial skin in the game. Not much skin in the game here in TV. Raise the rates - the courses will get less play, more recuperation time, affords higher quality of maintenance and more respect by those who do pay to play.
