I've got nothing against country clubs per se; I just dislike the idea of groups of govermental and corporate "good old boys" doing business and making sweetheart deals with each other rather than doing business where it should be done. I believe, like Mark Twain, that golf is a good walk spoiled, but to each their own. The most blatant example of this sort of cronyism occurred whem Cheney had those closed door meetings with only top oil and energy executives and excluded any other interested parties while formulating US "energy policies" under Bush. In fact, those "policies" may have been the only "formed" policies in the entire Bush administrations. A sad but true state of affairs...
