I admire the answers that have come so quickly and efficiently.
Fluid is the key word to this decade, it appears.
All I would add is, if the club is hell-bent on replacing "you," this gives it an opportunity to do that. On the coin's opposite face, if you have a great ally/supporter at the club, use them/her/him as your PR person to keep the contract.
Like "you," I love to give my admins a long-term idea of things. Smaller example would be, two of our fraternity brothers have passed on to first tee eternal, and two others had near-death experiences of the It's my own damned fault kind. I've let them know, with reciprocation, that homecoming is not to be missed if possible. It gives that opportunity that, unfortunately, may not be available in a year. I let my admins know that I plan to be in NC as often as permissible, and I bribe my colleagues to cover my classes. If most of our group will not be at school, I take the year off.
Kind of a long-winded way of saying that "you" should accept that overseas job, or go to the auld land and revisit the great old courses, or whatever. Do you, live the dream, however we say it.
