This is the correct answer. I worked at BRCC in college and the same members are still there. I talked to an executive at the club not too long ago and he relates that it is approaching crisis status because the old frickers won't let any new people join outside of existing families.

It is like when the royal familys in the Middle Ages would interbreed to keep anyone from getting in. The Club is going to tank if they don't get new members.

I basically grew up there and this is very true. They are extremely picky...and racist.

They turned down Michael Jordan to play there because of some bullshite "No guests on Saturday" or something. He was welcomed at CCL.

Its a beautiful club and David Toms just helped redo the course and its in fantastic shape, but they need new blood in the membership. I live in Nashville and I've been asked to be a junior member just because my father and grandfather were members. Yeah, right, like I have money for that
