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.
