It's like signing up to play golf in a tournament at a golf club, where everyone has to bring in the right clubs and wear their special tie and shoes so as not to damage the green, but you decide that you want to play without being a member, using clubs no-one has checked, and wearing your trainers
No, its the complete opposite of that. It's like wanting to play in a tournament but being told by the members that you can't play because you don't have the special clubs, tie and shoes bought from their pro's shop, even though you can buy exactly the same items, from the same manufacturer, online.
