I would try to purchase a membership for a year if that is anywhere near possible at the prestigious private clubs. For one of the best players in the world even if it is $1 million I would figure it is money well spent, because it's all about the majors.

And so it goes, Matt...and so it goes.

In the financial arena, it is called the Efficient Market Theory (EMT). That is, any competitive advantage known to the market will soon be used by all and thereby be 'diversified away'.

In other words:

"Nobody goes there anymore...it's too crowded."

-- Yogi Berra

And the bar is raised.

Permanently.
