  4. Golf Club Membership is really a loyalty scheme • Tesco Club Card is probably the best loyalty scheme in the world

  5.

  6. Golf Clubs that have embraced ‘Flexible Membership’ as a concept include: • China Fleet GC, Cornwall 300 • Haywards Heath GC, West Sussex 40 • De Vere Club 13,000 • Panshanger GC, Hertfordshire • Golf at Goodwood 1,800 • Altonwood Group • Crown Golf – Freedom Play • Rye Hill, Oxfordshire
