It is always interesting when one gets the opportunity to become a member of a new golf club. However, there are certain mistakes that have been commonly practised by those who are new to a club. Whether you are joining everyone’s favourite Benoni Country Club or the world-famous Worcester Golf Club, to have a good start when applying for a club membership, make sure not to commit these mistakes.

Overlooking the Dress Code

One of the common and easiest mistakes that people make is to underestimate the importance of dressing appropriately according to the dress code of the club. The majority of private clubs have some dress code policies that the members must adhere to. Never assume that the club’s dress code is friendly on your first visit with a potential partner. A club manager will be more than willing to embarrass you.

Failing to Introduce Yourself

It is good to be outgoing and introduce yourself to other people, especially those at the club at the staff level or board level. It will also create feelings of familiarity when you get to the office since you’ll already have several friends. Do everything possible to take the time to meet as many other members as possible in the beginning as well. The more familiar you are with the officers working the doors and/or the bartenders and wait staff, the more welcome you’ll feel whenever you return.

Lack of Appreciation of Other Traditions Practised in the Club

Every private club has its own rules, code of conduct and regulations that are always in operation, and these are the club’s standard practices. The rules are not made with the intention that you do not understand them, and if you do not bother to find out what they are, you could offend other members of the group or even get into trouble. Be aware of the business culture and do not assume it. Instead, go around asking questions to avoid such incidents during your initial days.

Concluding Remarks

Avoiding these mistakes will help you feel at home without taking a lot of time. Let’s toast to happy days at your incredible new golf club.
