    Or join a syndicate and become a part owner of a club..

    Expensive, but not as exclusive as the golf club.

    I thought the hardest was the golf club? I read somewhere that they stopped accepting nominations in the 1960s and that the last time they issued *some sort* of membership was in 1984...talk about exclusive!!
