A steep road introduced a landscape of lavish cars around the bright green grass of the Marine Drive Golf Club. An air of power and wealth surrounded this plot. While people around the world still face a strong recession, this club contrasted the reality of many. Nevertheless, all the luxury at display could not disguise the fact that the Marine Drive Golf Club has been a place of passion and commitment to the sport above all.

The Marine Drive Golf Club is an exclusive organization formed by 200 members of both genders and various ages. As explained by Ron Pauls, Chief Operating Officer at the Marine Drive Golf Club, the institution rarely introduces new associates. However, when they have the capacity to accept new applicants, a very meticulous process is carried out due to the distinctiveness they so strongly guard.   As a continual condition, applicants need the support of two current members to be considered.

Affiliates partially own the club, and the high price paid for this organization’s membership has attracted only those who are genuinely passionate about the sport and are fully committed to its constant practice.

“Being a part of this club is a very expensive thing to do, and only the people who are truly committed and kin to the sport come here. Otherwise, they will practice golf in a public course,” said Pauls.

A great sense of pride for members’ accomplishments throughout national and international golf tournaments was palpable at the Marine Drive Golf Club.  Several trophies and plaques decorated the Clubhouse’s walls. “We have had many champions from different age-groups over the years, like for example Doug Roxburgh,” said Pauls.

Over two weekends each year, the club hosts an internal championship for its members as a mean to challenge these zealous golfers.  A wide board around the golf course exhibited the names and accomplishments of all the participants in the championship currently taking place, and people eagerly browsed them as they walked by. “Members here love these championships. Everybody tries to participate,” said Pauls.

Even though a high level of concentration was visible among golfers, members amicably greeted each other around these facilities. An atmosphere of tranquility and serenity escorted this club- making any visitor wish to have a similar getaway in the city.
