How to Get More Members for Your Golf Team


Perhaps you’re a college golf club president looking to grow your organization, or a young golf enthusiast yet to build your dream team. Adding members to your team can be very challenging, especially when most of your prospects have to juggle their hobby and studies. Here are some best practices to help you find and encourage other golfers to join your club:

General Interest Meetings (GIM)
 
GIMs are held to give students an opportunity to learn more about an organization they may wish to join. For instance, there might be a potential rookie out there who’s just about to join the reader’s club because he doesn’t know you exist. So it’s important that you market your team well. Set up a booth with all your golfing props, and a signup sheet for contact details. Share the benefits of being on your team: friends, golf course privileges, sports skills, etc. You can further awaken their interest by giving away golf apparels, such as casual golf tees and sweatshirts they can wear around.
Social Media
 
People now spend lots of time online and even subscribe to or follow updates about organizations they’re interested in. Take advantage of this. Maintain an active account of your club team. Share tournament photos, club accomplishments, the latest news about golf, and connect with other teams throughout the country. Founding members can create a complete profile in popular platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter, to let other organizations know that a team is being formed.
