MB You don't necessarily have to wait at Dulwich. If you are joining from another club and have a reasonable handicap you may be able to join as a temporary member, which gives you full 7 day playing rights and a year to find a proposer and seconder (you pay 1200 for the year and 1200 being half your joining fee). They have a group that play every Saturday and Sunday mornings, you just turn up at 8am and they do a draw for partners and off you go. This allows you to meet people who will recommend you. Once you have those you are in. You need to attend an interview (chat really) to show you can dress yourself/walk/talk. If you are a beginner or high handicapper you may have to put your name down and join the waiting list but a lot of it is how much golf you have played in the past and how keen you are. If you show you are keen, write a letter setting out your golf history you should get a positive response. Speak to Michael Sawicki the Club Manager, he will give you the lowdown. At very least they will send you out a membership application and that will get the process started.
