Golf is a sport that uses clubs to hit balls into holes. It requires rel­a­tive­ly pro­fes­sion­al venues, equip­ment and skills. At the same time, with the enrich­ment of com­pet­i­tive events, it has become more of a sport. As a life­time sport, golf has a high tech­ni­cal thresh­old but also strong inter­est­ing­ness. How­ev­er, its charm lies more in the mem­ber­ship club mod­el, which makes it a social activ­i­ty and means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion. It has been wide­ly accept­ed by the afflu­ent class and busi­ness peo­ple and has had a great influ­ence. This has also pro­mot­ed the vig­or­ous devel­op­ment of the golf indus­try.

The golf club mem­ber­ship card is the link between the golf course and mem­bers. The golf club mem­ber­ship card car­ries a large num­ber of rela­tion­ships and ben­e­fits between mem­bers and the course. Mem­bers can use this small card to prove their mem­ber­ship sta­tus, obtain venue per­mits, make con­sump­tion pay­ments, obtain mem­ber­ship ben­e­fits etc. It has become an impor­tant part of golf. Golf mem­bers can max­i­mize their mem­ber­ship ben­e­fits by con­tin­u­ous­ly using mem­ber­ship cards. The appli­ca­tion of golf club mem­ber­ship cards is quite com­mon and mature.

Main functions:

1. Mem­ber cer­ti­fi­ca­tion: The golf club mem­ber­ship card usu­al­ly con­tains mem­ber infor­ma­tion such as name, mem­ber­ship num­ber, etc., to con­firm the mem­ber’s iden­ti­ty. Mem­bers can enter the course and enjoy mem­ber­ship ben­e­fits by pre­sent­ing the card.
2. Con­sump­tion pay­ment: Most golf clubs pro­vide cater­ing, shop­ping and oth­er con­sump­tion for mem­bers. Mem­bers can pay and deduct fees through mem­ber­ship cards. Some clubs also pro­vide fixed con­sump­tion lim­its in the mem­ber­ship card for the con­ve­nience of mem­bers.
3. Access con­trol: Many golf clubs adopt secure access con­trol sys­tems. Mem­ber­ship cards con­tain chips or mag­net­ic stripes to con­trol mem­ber access. Mem­bers can enter and exit spec­i­fied areas with card access.
4. Prac­tice range and equip­ment rental: Some golf clubs pro­vide exclu­sive prac­tice areas and equip­ment rental ser­vices for mem­bers. Mem­bers need to present mem­ber­ship cards to rent rel­e­vant equip­ment or enjoy the prac­tice range.
5. Oth­er ben­e­fits: Golf clubs pro­vide oth­er addi­tion­al ben­e­fits accord­ing to mem­ber­ship lev­els, such as reg­u­lar gifts of golf sup­plies, event tick­ets, use of high­er-lev­el con­fer­ence rooms or restau­rants, etc. These ben­e­fits also require mem­ber­ship cards to col­lect or enjoy.
6. Point rewards: Some golf clubs imple­ment a points sys­tem. Mem­bers can earn points through con­sump­tion, prac­tice and oth­er behav­iors with mem­ber­ship cards and redeem rewards after reach­ing a cer­tain num­ber of points.

Characteristics:

1. Size: Usu­al­ly adopt the stan­dard CR80 card size, 85.5mm long, 54mm wide, and 0.76mm thick.
2. Mate­r­i­al: Com­mon­ly used mate­ri­als are PVC or PET, which are tough, water­proof, stain resis­tant and durable. The ser­vice life of the cards is 3–5 years. High­er-lev­el met­al card mate­ri­als are also option­al.
3. Print­ing: The card sur­face prints mem­ber infor­ma­tion, club name/logo, expi­ra­tion date, etc. Option­al emboss­ing print­ing or cus­tom card face for pre­mi­um mem­bers to dis­tin­guish.
4. Anti-coun­ter­feit­ing: Usu­al­ly use cer­tain anti-coun­ter­feit­ing mea­sures, such as col­or-chang­ing ink, laser anti-coun­ter­feit­ing marks, water­marks, etc. to pre­vent cards from being copied and forged.
5. Mag­net­ic stripe/chip: Most cards have a built-in mag­net­ic stripe or RFID chip for mem­ber access con­trol and con­sump­tion, stor­ing mem­ber iden­ti­ty infor­ma­tion and enabling per­mis­sions.
6. Barcode/QR code: Some cards have bar­codes or QR codes, which can be used for quick reg­is­tra­tion and iden­ti­fi­ca­tion with a card read­er. How­ev­er, con­sid­er­ing the need for anti-coun­ter­feit­ing, some clubs no longer print bar­codes and only use chip authen­ti­ca­tion.
7. Cus­tomiza­tion: Pre­mi­um mem­ber cards or spe­cial mem­ber cards can use high­ly cus­tomized designs to show mem­ber iden­ti­ty.
