“Millennials don’t care about country clubs”, man one of my pinball bars has been getting increasingly wood-paneled and goblet-drinked as property-owners come in floral sundresses and shawls and striped junior analyst shirts fotr weekend brunch and dinner with the gang, I dunno what you thought a country club was

I thought that the point of a country club was that it was a club, that not just any random person could wander in, but only members, who, at minimum, paid a pile of money to join, and historically were also not Jewish or Black. I mean, there’s a country club aesthetic, but the aesthetic is in service to a particular ideology.
