    China golf: Communist Party bans club membership
    The Chinese Communist Party has banned all 88 million of its members from joining golf clubs, in its latest update of party discipline rules.
    Extravagant eating and drinking, and abuse of power, are also formally banned, said Xinhua news agency.

    The party has in the past warned its officials to refrain from extravagant dinners and purchasing mooncakes using public funds.

    China has been conducting a strict anti-corruption drive since 2012.
    The new rule on golf states that members are banned from "obtaining, holding or using membership cards for gyms, clubs, golf clubs, or various other types of consumer cards, or entering private clubs".

    If caught, members could either receive a warning or be removed from the party, depending on the severity of the violation.

    The new regulations did not explain why the joining of golf clubs is banned, but such clubs are often seen by the Chinese public as places where officials have cut shady deals.

    Once played in the Atlantic Coast Challenge with a lad "Shank in West" - nightmare, you could see their golf still only developing.
