    We have a society going for the last 5 years, and I rang the European this morning to organise one of our outings. Price was very reasonable (similar to the boards society) but was on condition we are a GUI Society.

    Is this to ensure we are Irish and registered golfers (we all have club GUI's anyhow).

    Is this the norm? First time I've ever been asked.

    TBH I didn't think societies bothered registering with GUI anymore these days

    Yeah, what I'm hearing is there's no benefit (other than in this case a cheap green fee). Rang GUI and they're sending out forms. Might be their policy to stop tour operators calling 20 Americans an Irish society and avoiding the €250 fee, or even charging the full whack to the group and then paying €60:eek:.

    In my society we've been paying the GUI fees since inception but stopped since last year as no understandable benefit and no club has queried are we GUI affiliated so we ain't bothered and happy with the savings
