There you go again telling me off for not having any idea how it works in the USA.
The point I suppose is who wants the review, the club or an outside organisation. If the club is not interested, then a problem, as we should respect the privacy of these private clubs. However if it is for the Senior Management then there are ways it can be achieved. Anyone involved in Blue Chip business will know of the secret internal surveys and reports that are undertaken on behalf of the Chairman or the CEO. It’s a question of wheels within wheels.
You need to cool my friend, it’s only a discussion group.

There you go again assuming bad intentions when none were present. And that was "telling you off"? Wow, I gotta share that with my kids, who think I really do tell them off far too often...
Hell yes it's just a discussion group; I might give your advice right back at you, but then again I have come to assume you are smiling as you post. I had hoped you did the same in return. But just to make sure....
Jeez man I had thought we were way beyond this. I mean no harm. It is all in good fun. My gosh, I took all your jibes in earlier posts and accept your interesting names regarding fence-sitting, and you still think I am telling you off in return? That makes zero sense.
SO LET'S GET BEYOND THIS.. ALL POSTS BETWEEN YOU AND ME ARE ALL IN GOOD FUN. Done, OK?
But the bottom line is this: if you make a statement like you did, and assume it always works in every situation, then you really do not know how golf works over here. I have given you an example where it's necessary to announce one's presence as a rater, and one cannot pay. It happens fairly often here. So again - NO OFFENSE INTENDED, ALL IN GOOD FUN - your advice just doesn't work. Not ALWAYS, anyway.
Let's insert some more, just to make sure.....
By the way, in these situations also, it's damn near always the club wanting the rating to be done.
