I don’t regret for a second the decision to stay in the small pool. I grew up at the “right” country club and I had nothing to prove rearing kids.

You go there to feel more important than you are and waste a ton of cash in the process.

This is my feeling as well. Same reason I so f live in the Jamestown district in Arlington. The holier than thou attitude is not my cup of tea.

Do you attend the Jamestown PTA auction at the WGCC?

I actually was surprised at how southern and Republican Chevy is. It is not what I would consider as being elite. Everyone I know that belongs is very southern or midwestern and very republican. The main clubhouse is pretty but many of the members have engaged in down right nasty behavior. I have heard of more negative stories about members of this club than all of the other clubs combined. Congressional has a much more elite feel to it and surprisingly much friendlier.

Agree. I also felt this way and agree Congressional has a much more elite and much friendlier feel to it. People there don’t get as caught up in who is joining because they are already elite and established themselves. They don’t identify with a club for their identity.

Lol yeah right. You haven’t been in this town long have you? Have you heard of Congo? It’s the new money club, and wasn’t elite 30 years ago.

No, but I’ve seen pictures of FB and heard about it from friends. I have no interest in associating with people who think WG&C is the bomb.

Actually grew up here and belonged to two of the aforementioned clubs through my family or my own membership. Chevy has become the new money Republican Club actually and Congo is the most elite and only club know outside of DC.
