I've played at Ashford a few times. Quite an expensive course, but good greens and local. I asked about membership, but was told that until my handicap came down to twenty four my enquiry would only 'be held on file'. This was on the basis that 'tight drives and fast greens would be really dis-spiriting if you handicap was higher than twenty four'.
Having played there I didn't have these dis-spiriting issues, but they didn't want my money anyway. Though the Secretary was trying to sweeten the pill their concern for my mental well being did surprise me.
Needless to say I probably won't bother to enquire again once I do become eligible.
