Jack Nicklaus has become a founding partner of the Flag, an “exclusive yet attainable” membership club" that promises to debut next year with nine golf options in southern Florida, central Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina. The club, which will inevitably draw comparisons to the Dormie Network, says that it’ll be “redefining private golf membership” thanks to “reasonable yearly dues” (no initiation fees) for “everyone seeking an elevated golf experience.” Such experiences, as defined by the Flag, will include “the best elements of the world’s finest private golf clubs,” notably concierge services, fitness and recreation centers, swimming pools, spas, and on-site “luxury accommodations.” In addition to serving as a marketing force, Nicklaus will ensure the quality of the golf experience, as he’s going to establish the “design philosophy” that will ostensibly draw members to the Flag. In phase one of the roll-out, he’ll oversee the creation of five “newly developed” courses and the re-creation of four as-yet unidentified existing tracks. Notably, he’s agreed to design some and re-design others and also “work with other renowned, industry-leading course designers.” The Flag acknowledges that “only those who truly love the game” will become members, but it has enough faith it its concept to say that it intends to eventually spread into other North American markets as well as into Europe and Asia.

In any event, other than cost, details are sparse.

Its all good Steve, just an FYI...

P.S.  After reading about this, in my line of work this sounds like a Vaporware equivalent...

Never heard of Vaporware until now. I'm more familiar with...


"Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it" is a catchphrase which became popular in the United States during the late 1950s and early 1960s. It means "to present an idea tentatively and see whether it receives a favorable reaction." It is now considered a cliché. ;D

"Exclusive yet attainable" sounds tailor-made for Americans.  No one else would be that gullible.


** No, wait - is this a rebranding of Trump properties?
