Currently club holds force you to choose a single, specific pickup location
when placing holds for the club. This isn't ideal in a multibranch/consortial
setting.

It would be nice if there were an option to default the pickup location to the
patron's home branch for holds placed with clubs.

My use case involves clubs for specific authors. For example, I want to create
a 'Stuart Woods' club that patrons can join, then whenever a new Stuart Woods
title is added, staff place a club hold that hits every patron enrolled.

Right now, if I take three different patrons from three different branches and
add them to a single club, I will be forced to select a single pickup location
which may be inaccessible to some or all of the patrons. To set three different
pickup locations, I would need to place three different club holds for three
different clubs. That has potential to get very messy, very quickly. Each
branch would need a club for each author, which then makes it easy to enroll
patrons in the wrong club and get their holds sent to the wrong branch.

Ideally, all three patrons should be able to join a single club and get their
holds sent to their respective home branches for pick up.
