Membership

Pataman

Yet another membership question! An uncle on mine, who now has alzheimers and wont be playing anymore, is still a member of a golf club. Can I take over his membership? Do i lease it? Do I have to apply to the club?
Any info appreciated

Many Thanks
Pat

It will depend hugely on the club. Contact the club secretary involved.

I did, and she just laughed at the question!! She did however say she would ask the general manager. So basically its down to what is is the club constitution/rules. I didnt know if there was any hard or fast rules. I asked a friend who leases a membership for Powercourt and he said he(the lessee) deals directly with the club and the lessor( who has never swung a club!!)has no contact with them.

Leasing is a pretty new practice in golf. It just exists where there's share-holders as opposed to members, I'm pretty sure.

So if it's an old-school club it's unlikely to have such a provision.

I knew it was too good to be true. Its an old club. Ah well I might as well just wait till they get back to me.

Pataman, could you get me some info on your mates leasing of membership in Powerscourt, I'm thinking of doing the same.

Cheers.
