Ashokji well said and exactly my point! I am sure you will agree that it is the Middle class and the lower income class of this country which has helped the game of CRICKET to grow so big. Therefore, for the growth of this game, it is important that this game is made affordable for all classes. The Government Officials contribute to a very small number of Middle class. By restricting Golf courses to only members or asking for VERY HIGH green fees from Civilians is not going to help the growth. Interesting, lot of Golf courses have less than 25% of their members playing the game. Rest take the membership for club facilities for socialising and entertainment purposes, just the way DDA runs Shree Fort Sports complex ..... May be it is a good idea to run the Club facilities membership sepreate to the Golf course membership. In a nutshell, we need a lot many courses like Qutab Golf courses .... across the country ... :-)
