It is a formality, but perhaps nothing to get too worked up about.
Last year, after not having played for 20 years, I rejoined a club in Nottingham where I was previously a member for two decades, having joined as Junior when there was a waiting list for the waiting list for Adults. They now have a banner outside saying 'Membership Applications now being accepted', not even considered!. If I had walked in stark naked they would have taken my cheque.

100% agree
Or they could call it a " please, please let me give you a £1000" interview

So what is it that people have a problem with ?
Wearing a shirt and tie
Or
Having to speak to people at the club who want to get to know you ?

So if your not sure what they will be wearing wouldn't it be best to overdress first and then down dress as necessary

Interesting, are they short of members or actively looking to increase? Website says interview etc hence me asking.
Couple of the gents at our table at h4h were from Blackmoor with club ties etc so just wondered.

For me phil its strikes me more as a barrier of authority. A kind of way of saying "your lucky to be here"

What year are we in people?
I'm not a fan of this whole 'dress up for an interview'
I turned down the 'opportunity' to join Harpenden golf club because they are stuck in the olden days. No spike bar, no phones in the bar area.
It's a golf club you're joining, somewhere where you should be able to go and relax. I love going up to my golf club in a pair of jeans, polo and some vans.
Golf clubs SHOULD be catering for the younger generation in this day and age, then so many of them wouldn't be closing down every year.

I've had interviews at both clubs I've been a member at. Both were mere formalities and were more of a "sit down and get to know the people in the club" type affairs. On both occasions I've worn a suit.
Not really sure why people are getting het up about it. Maybe it's the term "Interview". Maybe it should be called a "meet and greet". I'd still wear a suit though..

Why ? It's just people wanting to get know you
Find out all about you and mainly for you to ask as many questions as you want
They now are used mainly for the golfer to get used to the golf club
One club I know has you having to play a round with a committee member

Pretty much spot on imo
Never had an interview for my skydiving club or fishing syndicate

I think playing a round with the gaffer is a much better idea. i recon you learn alot more about someone on a golf course than in a meeting room

Are the younger generation unable to wear a tie and sit down and chat ?

The playing the round is after the chat with committee members etc

Never said you should not wear a suit.like you said better to go overdressed as first impressions last.but is the game trying to move forward and move with times.bottom line is you are going to join a golf club not meet the queen.

So why not invite you to play a round of golf? It is a golf club after all

They are actively looking for members. RAGC gave me a tie when I joined, never worn it.

not at all, but golf clubs shouldn't be so 'lar de dar' these days. Young people don't want to have to wear suits to join a golf club and you shouldn't have to.
What does it matter if someone isn't wearing a tie, surely trousers, open shirt would be acceptable?
