[quote=Anonymous]My parents were big tennis players, and we belonged to a country club growing up.  It was nice for us to be able to swim and run about safely while my parents played tennis, and I remember them hanging around for a while afterwards having a drink with their friends when they were done.  My husband and I are very active, but neither of us plays golf, so the only reason we've considered it is for the pool and kids' activities.  Plus, a lot of our friends are members, and it would be nice to get together with them and their kids there and have lunch or dinner from time to time (I loved spending afternoons at the pool when I was a kid).  However, it's a lot of money (between $70K and more than $100K) to join, and we're not sure it's worth it, given school tuition and looming college.  To answer your questions, yes, a lot of their friends at school are members, but I don't think it negatively impacts our kids.  There are some parties at the clubs, but they get invited to a lot of those anyway.  And as for the tennis moms, they're nice enough, but I work and wouldn't be playing at that time anyway.  Bottom line is, we don't feel excluded or somehow out of things because we aren't members, but our circle of friends is pretty diverse anyway.  And the LAST thing I want to do is encourage my husband to play golf![/quote]
