The Club Is Strict
For all its elite membership and exclusivity, many people have lamented that some golf club rules are just strange, contradictory, and massively outdated. For example, members are not allowed to use their cell phones while on the grounds, and tipping is also prohibited.
While it isn’t known why the club has what many would think of as restrictive rules, none of the members have actually come out to question it. It seems they agree with the set guidelines despite what the rest of the world thinks.
