Just like the Annual Meeting, you don't have to be a member of the PGCA to attend the HOF banquet. You just have to buy a ticket. And taking a bath and strapping on a tie once or twice a year doesn't seem so bad. Membership in the PGCA is of course a personal decision, but for anyone who owns a Parker or even thinks they want to own a Parker it's the best $40.00 you'll ever spend.
