The traditional appeal of 18-hole golf is waning as modern lifestyles evolve. Today’s golfers, particularly younger generations, seek flexibility and shorter, more dynamic formats. Despite this trend, many clubs have been slow to adapt, maintaining outdated membership procedures and policies that may deter potential new members. Our data shows that failing to modernise can have severe consequences for clubs. Adapting to new member expectations requires clubs to rethink their approach—offering flexible membership options, embracing new formats like adventure golf or driving ranges, and updating facilities to cater to diverse recreational interests. At Custodian Golf, we specialise in guiding clubs through these transformations with data-driven insights. We help clubs reimagine their offerings and attract a broader, more diverse membership base. 📥 Download our white paper to find out how we can support your club in adapting to these cultural shifts. https://lnkd.in/gaN3-Xaq #GolfCulture #ModernGolf #MembershipGrowth #GolfInnovation #GolfClubFuture #adventuregolf Golf Club Managers Association Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE) The PGA The R&A UK Golf Federation

How to get a tee time at St Andrews? There are a few ways of getting a tee time on the Old Course at St Andrews: Option 1: Purchasing a guaranteed time. Select tour operators offer guaranteed tee times one-to-two years prior to play. These guaranteed tee times are generally more expensive than those obtained through the Application process described below, through the Ballot or by Standing-By, also described below. Option 2: Apply through the annual lottery in late-August of the year prior to play. The key is to start your planning early and to have your group names known by July / August. Results of the lottery are announced toward the end of October. This is a guaranteed tee time; however, St Andrews receives many more applications than they have available tee times. Option 3: A Tee Time by Ballot or Stand-by. This option is known as the “ballot.” It is essentially a lottery that takes place daily for play two days ahead. While there is no guarantee of success, chances are quite reasonable, especially if you are to be in the St Andrews area for four or five days. We would enter your names into the ballot each day except Friday as the course is closed on Sundays and do it in such a way as to avoid conflict with tee times on other courses. Option 4: It is possible to walk-on to the Old Course. You can advise the starter that you wish to do so, and he’ll try and fit you in if and when an opportunity arises. Chances of getting on depend on the time of year and how early you arrive at the starter’s box.
