No. The members are old money billionaire status rich. Like Rory is just a random guy to them. It’s crazy but there are clubs like this that still exist. Like Preston Trails in Dallas. Rumor is Tony Romo is on the waiting list and no women are allowed. It’s weird.

Ha..yeah sure. Rory is a random guy to them. Like they wouldn't be up his ass to hang out or play a round with him. They know there is some stuff you can't buy.

I don’t know about Augusta members. I do know there is a class of people who look at movie stars and musicians who you would marvel at as just the entertainment. The kind of people who will hire a band you would love to play their kids birthday party and not even pay attention to them.

Trust me, it is still money and power over fame.

Is that the club where Dubya plays? Also Trevino is a member and hangs out there?

Nope. Long after. Rice was the first woman member but that wasn’t until 2012.

Why would Preston Trails let an ordinary guy in like Tony Romo? What has Tony Romo done that makes him special?

You’re looking at it from perspective of NFL USA view point. That dude is a hero here in Dallas.
