Barriers Are Beautiful

Or how I learned to stop worrying and love a long process

A few weeks ago the sports writer Joe Pompliano wrote a post on LinkedIn about how hard it is to become a member at the golf course Augusta. Membership is limited to 300 people and only opens up when someone gives up their membership or dies, and they apparently just accepted 3 new members, Eli Manning and the CEOs of CBS and Amazon. Rules include no backwards hats and if you play the course you must play with an existing member. Even Tiger Woods, as only an “honorary member” cannot use the course by himself.

There is the obvious reading of this — people always want what they can’t have, to get past a velvet rope…

If you’d like to work for it, membership applications are open.

And follow along on Instagram for regular updates.
