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.
