How can the Club better meet the needs of people in their 40-50s? I believe that, for people in our 40s and 50s, we are focused on spending quality time with family and friends. Growing our network is also a fun way to meet people from different backgrounds. Personally, I think it would be good to have more golfing activities such as zone competitions.
