Report: Country club might be too exclusive for Brady, Gisele

The Boston Globe reported Tuesday that the New England Patriots quarterback and his wife have applied for membership at The Country Club in Brookline, regarded as one of the most exclusive country clubs around. According to the Globe, it’s far from a certainty that the Brady bunch is granted membership.

“It’s really about who you are. Do you have good values?” one member told the Globe. “It’s that old New England mentality.”

It’s a cute (not to mention extremely out of touch) quote, but Brookline also really prizes two things: exclusivity and privacy. It’s unlikely Brady and Gisele would help on either front, especially the privacy.
