I played at both locations. Too distant to travel to regularly, so was never officially a member. Jim asked me to join their 14.1 league though in order to fill the schedule, and gave me a key to the new club. I thus made the 4 hour drive many times, but when he suddenly pressed me to pay the substantial membership fee, I wouldn’t unless he agreed to obtain a ball cleaning machine (balls there were always incredibly sticky). He refused, so I turned in my key (a decision I came to regret).
Re: George Fels: I called him one day and aggressively prodded him to meet me at Chris’ to play 14.1. Instead, he steered me to be tortured by the world’s slowest player (a joke I’m sure he enjoyed).
