Clubhouse
Clubhouse is the name for the meeting place or meeting place of a club , sports club or other association. As a rule, only members and invited guests have access.
history
Clubhouse culture begins in England in the 19th century . Initially, the club members met in coffee houses, which, however, could no longer accommodate the growing number. You either bought these rooms or designed your own building projects, which resulted in the classic gentlemen's club . With the beginning of sport as an activity of the upper class and their children, clubhouses were built at the sports facilities. In tennis , rowing and golf clubs in particular , it became fashionable to create a place of relaxation and, above all, a kind of hall of fame even after the game.
The largest clubhouse is the Yale Club of New York City building with 22 floors and a worldwide membership of 11,000.
