As an owner of a large club, I've seen my fair share of members coming and going. (and then coming back again) My club was also the target of a mass poaching attack by a small group of people who were dissatisfied with my club, went out and started their own club and then proceeded to pick off my members right and left.
True, ultimately it is up to the individual to make the decision to leave the club. After all, they make a conscious decision to click the proper buttons. BUT....I do NOT feel that invitations to join another club should be made available to people who are already IN a club. If they want to leave, I wish them all the best. To say that some may not know how to leave a country club is rubbish. As individuals, we are held responsible for knowing how to do so many things here on WGT, this is just another on the list.
Poaching from other clubs is a REAL problem and is not appreciated by other club owners. It is also not appreciated by club members who keep receiving multiple join invites but are loyal to their club.
Golf is a game of good manners and etiquette but club owners should hold themselves to an even higher standard. When they don't, WGT should have at least made this issue of poaching from other clubs impossible.
