If I was joining a golf club where I thought it was beneficial to wear a jacket and tie, or a suit, to a new members interview, then I wouldn't join.
Golf needs to move on - regardless of the clubs stature.
The "interview", should be an introduction to whichever member of the commitee is taking the interview (ideally the Captain), a description of the club, and it's history, how to enter comps etc.
It should be informal, while setting out the expectancies at that particular club with regards to member beahviour, dress code etc.
It simply should not be anything to be concerned about - if you are - look for another club where you feel welcome before you've even joined.
But that’s the thing if that’s the way that club wants to run then you wouldn’t be right for the club and the club wouldn’t be right for you. Our interview is informal chat with the captain and secretary then some orienteering followed by important things to know.
