This seems to be the thing to do. Golf in spring, summer and fall and curling in winter. It is hilarious hearing about the stress levels when the two seasons overlap and timing conflicts develop. Often the two groups are the same except when some of the golfers go south for the winter.
When I think about it, the two groups are almost self-sufficient unto themselves. The general population has little 'social' contact with these two groups Is that the usual result? Is it because of the cost of belonging or choice of lifestyle?
