[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to come off like a snob here but what is with the "country clubs" that consist of a pool, a few tennis courts and a shack where cafeteria food is served?  A co-worker has bragged for years about their "club" and I was shocked to see no clubhouse, no golf course... just a pool with wet, concrete changing rooms that were duplicates of your local public pool, etc.  Is this what most people consider to be a "country club"?[/quote]

It sounds like your co-worker was talking about a swim club, using the short hand "club," but you always assumed she was speaking about a country club. I grew up in the Midwest so "country club" was used for a place with a golf course / restaurant and maybe swim and/or tennis. The golf course was key - without it you have no country club. Around here, I really don't hear the phrase much. "Club" can be swim club, social club, golf club. But if someone says "country club" I'm going to assume it has a golf course. [/quote]
