Not sure if it would work, but I'd bring some bills you've gotten for your NH residence to the golf course to show them your bonafides.

If they balk, threaten to sue: that'll shut em up.

You mean try to violate what the State has directed and if that doesn't work, try playing tough guy? Great advice.

I would argue that a local property owner and tax payer has the same bonafides as a year round resident.

That's just plain silly. No club manager will risk being shut down for doing something illegal for a nasty non-resident. "Yes officer. He's the one who threatened me. The only car in the lot with MA plates."

Ah, but if you own property in NH in are living / staying there when you wish to golf, are you not residing in NH?

Dual homes folks arguably are residing in the state in which they currently are staying: that's my argument, anyway.

It is beyond absurd to deny golf privileges to people who own real estate in NH, who pay your ridiculous taxes, and who are currently spending the night in their NH home.

Yesterday the NH Task Force voted in favor that NH Golf move to Phase 2 (which would include courses opening up to non residents). However, I am not sure how quickly this will be approved by Sununu
