Daniel Andrews, The Former Victoria Premier, Has Been Blocked From Joining An Elite Golf Club In Melbourne, And The Members Are Not Happy About It. It Seems That His Attempts To Join The Portsea Golf Club Have Been Met With Strong Opposition From The Club’S Members. The Reason Behind This Rejection Stems From The Anger Over Andrews’ Handling Of The Covid Pandemic, Particularly The Metropolitan Lockdowns That Affected The Mornington Peninsula, Despite It Being 70km Away From Melbourne CBD.
The Rejection Came After Max Beck, A Friend Of Andrews, Made An Attempt To Inquire About His Potential Membership At The Club. However, The Response Was Clear And Firm, Indicating That Andrews’ Chances Of Joining The Club Are Non-Existent. In Fact, There Are Early Suggestions That He May Not Even Be Allowed To Submit A Membership Application.
The Anger And Resentment Towards Andrews Were Evident During A Gathering At The Sorrento Hotel, Where Members From Various Clubs Expressed Their Disapproval Of His Potential Membership. Former Professional Golfer Mark Allen Confirmed That The Sentiment In The Region Is Far From Forgiving, With Many Members Adamant About Not Allowing Andrews To Join Any Club In The Area.
Despite The Backlash, Andrews’ Friend, Property Baron Beck, Expressed His Disappointment At The Club Members’ Attitude, Calling It ‘Small-Minded.’ He Emphasized That Andrews Should Be Assessed Based On His Personality And Golfing Ability, Rather Than His Political Beliefs.
The Controversy Has Sparked A Debate, With No Comments Submitted Yet. It’S Clear That The Issue Has Stirred Up Strong Emotions Among The Golfing Community In Melbourne. Whether The Portsea Golf Club Committee Will Consider Andrews’ Application Based On His Golfing Skills And Personality Remains To Be Seen.
