I would change that as follows:
CLUB_TYPES = {
"pub" => "Public",
"vil" => "Village",
"pvt" => "Private"
}
> validates_inclusion_of :club_type, :in =>
> CLUB_TYPES.map {|disp, value| value}

So that becomes:
validates_inclusion_of :club_type, :in => CLUB_TYPES.keys
> #view code

> <%= f.select :club_type, Club::CLUB_TYPES, :prompt => "Select a Club
> Type" %>

I think when using a hash you need to invert it, something like this:
<%= f.select :club_type, Club::CLUB_TYPES.invert, :prompt => "Select a Club
Type" %>
You may need to play with that a little bit... I can't remember and don't
have time to test it at the second...

(or more likely a method on the model call club_type_description or
something similar that does the same thing).
