The numbers of golfers are different, as are the number of golf courses and their financing. Those people will have had at least ten lessons, and be paying members of the club. It's not in the long term interest of a golf club to tell new members that they may not play after relieving them of upwards of roughly 1500 pounds. Thomas Prufer

My brother married a woman who is my sister-in-law. Her sister is not my sister-in-law IIUC. She is my brother's sisters-in-law however. Now in Kentucky....

Now in Kentucky.... > Yeah...but if your wife had one sister (your sister-in-law) then your wife is not only your wife...but she is the sister of your sister-in-law. Furthermore...if your wife had two sisters then at least two of the sisters are sisters of your sister in law...as well as being your sisters-in-law!!!! Your wife has far too many sisters....share them around. cheers david |
