At the end of 2025 I faced a very difficult decision, should I renew my golf club membership or not? With an annual price hike adding to my already stretched budget, I knew that affording to belong to my beloved home club was a luxury and one that as a single parent on a relatively modest income, I had to seriously weigh up.
So I started to consider what golfing life would be like if I was a nomad who no longer belonged to a club, if I only paid and played when I could afford to. It was an extremely difficult decision to make after 30 plus years of club membership.
