Communist Dictatorship Alive And Well At Scottsdale. Wants Members Out
Geoff Shack has this most amazing story of Scottsdale golf club which seems to have been taken over by some kind of ruthless dictator.
I dont know how golf courses operate in America but here in Ireland, this kind of behaviour would leave the owner with a field and no friends.
Bob Parsons who founded GoDaddy is the new owner and while he’s already done several upgrades it’s coming at a non negotiable cost to members.
Parsons noted that some members were playing golf every day (isn’t that what members do?) and took offence saying in a letter "In fact, many members who are at the club each and every day spend nothing and do not support the club at all. This will not continue."
In future members will have to pay a $100 fee every time they play and will be restricted to 30 rounds a year.
Parsons is not without a little heart however, he’s offering anyone who doesn’t like his new rules the chance to get out.
Here’s his letter to members thanks to Geoff. George Orwell wouldn’t make this up.
