That's not really what I'm saying. Let's assume there is not a sign. Why is alcohol different than any other food item you may bring? Are there some people that think only water is ok?
As a rough guide, the rule of thumb should be that you shouldn't bring in food or drink that is substitutable for the golf course's food or drink. So, that means pretty much no liquor or beer, no burgers, no fish and chips, no club sandwiches, etc., etc.
My club doesn't carry anything remotely close to what I prefer as a mid-round snack, and I don't think they'd care 2 cents about me bringing on what I do. But don't be bringing a 6 pack of IPA's or White Claws just because you're a cheap arse. And that generally should extent to any kind of alcohol unless you're a weirdo who likes to sip Rothschild on the back nine.
There's also the liability aspect of the club to consider for allowing players to bring their own alcohol, as mentioned earlier in this thread. Complete no brainer form their perspective if they catch you with it. I'd say it's quite likely that this course has had a recent incident or two of a player getting wasted on the course largely off alcohol that was brought in from off premise and then going and doing something criminal.

I noticed you skipped the concert one though.
Well of course I'm going to skip the one that I do it at
In fairness I go to a ton of concerts and the only one each year I sneak alcohol in is at the Pilgrimage Festival in Tennessee. That's become a family tradition as a joke basically.

I had a client that I was playing with one day and that bastard pulled out a little bottle of champagne and a corn do from his bag. I still to this day have not let him live it down. When he comes in for meetings I have small bottle of champagne and some mini corn dogs waiting for him.

I'd imagine most people in here subscribe to the notion that alcohol is treated differently, but hydrating drinks and snacks are fine
Because it is, for a multitude of different reasons.
The most important being pretty much every course explicitly states you can't bring outside alcohol.

Simple snacks (peanuts, trail mix, protein bar) and a water IMO are good just about anywhere. Maybe not augusta national but most high end clubs I still see it as okay. They are emergency items more than anything.
Beyond that it really comes down to knowing where you are playing. If a course has no outside beverage signs all over the place that is pretty straightforward.

I also pick up a case and load it in a cooler before my rounds on Fridays/Saturdays. I never did before but the Restaurant isn’t affiliated with the course anymore and charges $5 per beer and $18 for a mixed drink. When the course ran it and it was 6/15 I never thought about bringing my own drinks but now I always do and don’t feel bad about it due to the outrageous prices

Boo Weekley said he would eat and hang out at the same place every night during tournaments. If that place didn't serve natty light he would provide it to them, and they would charge him $2 per beer to serve it to him.

I had the strangest experience when I was in St. George last weekend. They didn't GAF about personal coolers. You could never be that overt about it in Dallas. I guess if nobody else drinks they don't care even though they are losing a frick ton of money?

Played at Farmlinks in Sylacauga a few weeks ago, the beer was 48 a six pack plus tip on top of 115 green fee. If they don't want people bringing stuff onto the course don't gouge them with movie theater prices on the stuff they sell.

Damn Ell. Who woke up and pissed in your Cheerios?
You say the OP is being insecure, but they have 3 posts in here(one being the OP) to your 16 posts. Id say you’re coming off a little whiny and insecure.
As someone that has ran and managed a business incorporating alcohol I don’t see an issue with it. What if the beer they drink isn’t the cheap domestic type that is sold at golf courses?
You and a few others reached on quite a few posts attacking the OP about his finances and standing. Insinuating he gets belligerent on the course and acts out.
Another point is what happens to the Golf Course if it’s patrons don’t drink alcohol and they stay afloat because of alcohol sells?
I always get a Bloody Mary from the cart girl any time she comes by and normally tip above 100% for my drinks there.

Then they don't get to drink. Pretty simple

If 6 beers and a bloody Mary and fireball shots (which are for 18 year old girls) "isn't that much" I'd think that's a fair assessment.

It's not about that. It's about liability and alcohol sales and consumption regulations.
But if it were forecasting includes food/beverage revenue as well as green fee revenue.

While I agree with your assessment of what Fireball is.. I can definitely handle 6 beers, a Bloody Mary, and shots of fireball while playing 18 holes of golf and not even be tipsy.

quote:What? A course is more than just golf and that’s the expectation from most golfers. That means if you want shots or a Bloody Mary like some of these posters say they get while skipping the beer, then you should probably pay for that beer too because either they’ll stop selling it all or they’ll eventually close. It’s just the way the business is in most places.

That means you shouldn’t be playing golf and are cheap according to the posters in this thread

From his OP all he stated was the Starter told him they couldn’t have it. Didn’t say they argued. Didn’t say anything about an altercation. All he stated was they went to put the beer back and the group behind called the Starter a “jackass” for it.

How is it laughable? I don’t drink beer at a course or bring my own. I don’t like domestic beer for the most part.

This is a crazy assumption.. but maybe he has a job. I think engineer if I saw right. Maybe he can’t post every second to your replies.
hell, I just got off work myself. I wouldn’t have been able to sit and reply every five seconds to you and Wingo before. Posted on 5/9/22 at 4:39 pm to Tigercoop40

quote:Theres this cool feature that lets you see if a poster is online. He’s been online most of the day. It’s certainly an assumption that he’s reading and has decided to just stay away. But I wouldn’t call it “crazy” considering he’s shown online pretty much every time I’ve replied. It at least wasn’t a baseless assumption.
This is a crazy assumption
