4th Green
A golf club worth joining distinguishes itself by how seriously it manages fundamentals that most golfers overlook. Course maintenance during Durban's wet summer requires different decisions than maintenance in drier regions—drainage, grass selection, fairway firmness all reflect choices about how to keep play consistent. Green speed, handicap administration accuracy, and whether the pro shop genuinely understands equipment fitting separate competent clubs from ones that merely exist. The teaching standards matter too: does the pro understand swing mechanics or just give vague advice? Are the course setups challenging but fair, or do they frustrate members unnecessarily? 4th Green's reputation is built on getting these details right, which is why serious golfers notice the difference when they visit.
