Is The Country Club too exclusive even for Tom Brady?
Just how exclusive is The Country Club in Brookline? Were about to find out.
Word around the clubs meticulously manicured grounds is that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and his supermodel spouse, Gisele Bundchen, whose mansion is just an errant tee shot away, would like to join. But its not clear if the club famous for understatement and insularity will accept the glamorous power couple as members.
Why? Because the 133-year-old institution prizes privacy and discretion above all else. And Brady and Bundchen, trailed as they often are by paparazzi, and occasionally controversy, attract the sort of attention abhorred by the multimillionaires who belong to the primrose playground on Clyde Street in Chestnut Hill.

When a friend told me she'd had to pass up an apartment because its parking lot banned motorcycles and pickup trucks, I replied, "Maybe that's their way of banning PEOPLE who own motorcycles and pickup trucks!"
