I managed to avoid being a lawyer too - so I use the lawyer jokes when describing my friends!  I'm working for the Australian Government on regulatory policy, started three weeks ago.

I returned to Australia about eighteen months ago - it still feels like yesterday.

As I have stated before if we moved to Melbourne I would get on the waiting list for KH before I started shopping for a house.

You would probably be a member before you could afford to buy a house here, Ed.

You are going to be a very busy boy for the next two years at least, then.

Given your impeccable Young Liberal credentials, how are you reconciling them working for a Socialist Government that intends immolating the last thirty years of Neo-capitalism?

While I will be busy, the focus of my group is on regulation within the broader economy, not just the financial sector.  If I were working for APRA, I'd be extremely busy, for good reason.

Impeccable Young Liberal credentials?  I don't even vote Liberal!

Chris,
    I'm happy to be so entertaining. From what I was told RM is a really long wait and KH was a much more reasonable time period. Perhaps my hosts were just being nice to a rube from the US. :)

Not at all Ed. You would be playing golf within 12-18 months as a member and would have 7 day rights within another 12 months. As long as you knew someone who would be happy to put you up, which I believe you do ;)

I can't speak for RM Chris, but I wouldn't bracket the two clubs together when discussing membership lists.

While the waiting lists may be of different lengths, how are they substantially different?  To my understand (and please correct me if I'm wrong), both require a proposer, seconder and a number of referees.

Thanks Rich. I hope you are having a great season down there. I think about our rounds together every time I fix a pitch mark on a green.

Chris,

Don't RM require a proposer/seconder to have known the candidate "well and personally" for a specific period of time?

Kingston Heath are so clearly in need of members who don't require an oxygen tank during a round, even casual aquaintances now pass muster.

Ed

If I lived south of the border - it's also the course I'd like to join more than any other  ;D

Nice post Mark! Best left alone :-X

Chris,

An overseas person relocating to Melbourne with a strong golfing background, club membership/affiliation and a personal connection is a very different story to a walk up off the street.
