[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work at The Country Club (brookline, MA) - the one referenced above.  It is the oldest country club in the United States and is steeped in history.  Think Mayflower descendants.  It's old school and exclusive and they have hosted a few golf tournaments there but hate to do it because it brings in outsiders and ruins the course.  The people that work in the administration there consider them the best/finest/pick your word club in the entire country.  They regularly network with other clubs and the only club, in the entire country, that they consider to be remotely on their level, is Chevy Chase.  I am not a member of any of these, obviously, but as someone from the DC area, I thought that was interesting.[/quote]

Not surprising in the least.  You should hear by old WASPy mom, who grew up in New York attending Westchester, speak on Congo.  To her it was the equivalent of going to a public mall [/quote]

Do you mean Westchester CC?  The club desperate to open its doors to a regularly scheduled PGA tournament only to have its contract broken by the PGA due to low attendance and TV ratings, (which is no small feat in greater New York City).  There's a little club Mamaroneck that makes Westchester look like a muni dog track.  PS - the real WASPs are across the border at the Round Hill Club (or at WFGC), not at Westchester; they are just pretenders.[/quote]

Eh, Westchester is pretty damn WASPy.  (As is the county it's named after)[/quote]

Nah, it's all relative for the County.  Round Hill (obviously in Greenwich), Winged Foot and even Quaker Ridge are much more so. [/quote]

You realize that Greenwich is in an entirely different state... right?  [/quote]
