Country Clubs

Membership in a country club is one of the perks of being wealthy. Members are entitled to enter a haven of leisure and recreation wherein problems do not exist and only beautiful things abound. They have exclusive access in a luxurious land of athletic and amusement possibilities, from golf courses to outdoor and indoor badminton and tennis courts to ball game gymnasiums to martial art halls to swimming pools. They can bring their families, relatives, friends and business partners in a private wonderland wherein they can bond together as if the whole world is theirs.

Children can indulge in indoor and outdoor playgrounds that combine physical games, educational activities and high-tech kids entertainment, complete with teachers and guides. Mothers can forget the kids and stay at the spa and have rejuvenating beauty treatments, massages and aromatic therapies. Fathers are free to conquer a vast field of greenery and play sports and drink with their colleagues. Group gatherings are always carved into unforgettable events with sophisticated dining halls and lavish venues.

Country club membership is a status symbol, and a privilege of the moneyed. It mirrors the natural human desire of living in a paradise of abundance in which nature is overwhelming, laughter is endless, and worries are nowhere. It is an illusion that people frustratingly want to realize. Because outside the country club, there is sadness, there is poverty, there is stress, and the world seems to be dark and gloomy.
