    I thought it was km and picked the wrong option :(

    My club is about 30 mins from me anyway. There's two within walking distance from me and once they reduce their membership fee by at least a grand I'll be joining one.

    50kms
    takes about 40 mins onto weekend but means i never go during the week
    30 years a member so hard to leave a good club just because i live somewhere else now

    should add that i am in a secondary club which is only about a mile away., play very rarely there though

    19km for me to get from Baldoyle to Corballis.
    At the weekends its a 20-25 min drive, after work it can be double that

    Green fees would be ~40% of the much closer Portmarnock Links. Really happy playing in Corballis but at a certain point it will become tempting to swallow the cost difference and swap the 25 min drive for a 10 minute one

    Previously 20km and now only about 500m. Handy to get a couple of holes in the evening during summer being so close but don't really get any additional full rounds in. Some day I'll eventually visit the putting green :)
