Default This is how our country club handled it

I would support a “partner pass” initiative for permanent residents, but I wonder how that would be handled. Would it be a card, issued in the resident’s name, that allowed you to bring any guest to any resident-only location/class/function? Or would you have to fill out documentation and get a card printed up for a specific individual each and every time you wanted your guest to accompany you to a resident-only location/function?
The country club/golf course that we lived on in Atlanta got sick of issuing guest passes all the time. They made a different color id (It was yellow) with a picture of the person(or persons) who was the member on it. It read as follows if I remember correctly. "This pass allows the guest of the person pictured to limited access to the facilities and must be accompanied by the member. The member assumes all responsibility and liability for the actions of this guest." It did not give them access to golf as each member had a limited number of guest T-times for every three month period. Just replace the word member with resident and you could use the same system. We had two that had a picture of my husband and myself on them. When family came to visit we were good to go. If they did a three color system then one color for the resident - one for the partner pass, and a third for visitor/guest. Total per house = 4

Limits to access could be decided and printed on the passes.
IE: The companion pass could allow full access to all but golf regardless of where they live or just to social functions at least.
The guest pass one could have the exclusion of people living in Sumter,Lake and Marion counties. That would address the issue of people making friends with residents just to use the facilities.

Just a thought

If you purposed it as a cost saving measure for the administration you might have better luck getting it thru.


And yes I know I can't spell Sorry
