Beginner programmes

Nobody starts on their own.

Four programmes in which nobody is ever out there alone: a mentor who walks you through your first year. A round with the friend who has never held a club. A points competition for beginners. And a reward when you bring someone along.

01The first year

Your first year,
stage by stage.

What happens between joining and your first competition is on no price list. It is here: seven stages, each with a person alongside you.

In the first few days

  1. In the first few days

Seven stages. At every single one, someone was there who was glad to come along!

Which is why this page has two sides.

02Four programmes

Four programmes,
eight roles.

Every programme has two sides: someone takes you along — or you take someone along. Both are here, always.

Mentoring

If you're new

An existing member walks you through your first year: three rounds together, ideally within six weeks, and an RPR round at the end at the club’s invitation.

If you're already with us

You know the course, the etiquette and the people. That is exactly what someone who has just joined is missing.

02-1Mentoring

Someone who
has been there.

The aim of the mentoring programme is for you as a new member to find your feet in club life — with the knowledge of the existing members who have known the course for years.

  • Getting in touch with the newcomer (rookie) and arranging casual play
  • From beginner to experienced golfer and competition player
  • Local rules
  • Course regulations and etiquette
  • General competition terms, competition conditions, RPR rounds
  • An explanation of the WHS (World Handicap System)
  • All the materials for it are handed to you once you have been paired up

To finish there is an RPR round — the club invites mentor and mentee to it. Local rules, course regulations, etiquette and the competition conditions are set out in full on the page Local rules & etiquette. Local rules & etiquette

3 rounds together

02-2Member´s & Friend´s

Bring along someone
who has never played.

Invite your friend who does not play golf to a 9-hole round with us. True to the motto “the most important shot in golf is the first one”, you let them take an active part in what makes golf so absorbing. Together you spend a fine few hours in our landscape.

  1. 01 Your friend is not yet an active golfer and does not yet have course permission.
  2. 02 You sign in for your 9-hole round at reception before play. We are happy to reserve a tee time with the player note “Member & Friend” so that your group is recognisable.
  3. 03 Avoid busy tee times — then you can enjoy your round together in peace.
  4. 04 Play is in the Texas Scramble format.

You get the Member´s & Friend´s voucher with our traditional spring letter at the start of the season; it is also waiting for you at reception. Reception will tell you exactly what the voucher covers.

Request a voucher

If you are thinking of someone right now, the spring letter is too late. Request the voucher here — we will put it aside for you or send it out.

This is not an entry to the competition itself — it only tells your contact what to talk to you about.

02-4Members recruiting members

When you bring
someone along.

You can recruit new members for Golfclub Gerhelm if you hold an active membership yourself. For every member you refer you receive a reward of your choice.

100,00

It is offset against your next invoice.

Cart vouchers

5 × 18 holes, redeemable all week; competitions at the weekend are excepted.

285,00

Green fee vouchers

3 × 18 holes, redeemable all week; they are sent by post.

There is exactly one reward per member referred — the choice really is exclusive.

  • You hold an active membership at Golfclub Gerhelm yourself.
  • The completed and signed club and user contract is enclosed — that is essential.
  • The following can be referred: full adult membership (individual, partner, young generation or second membership), trial membership* and full membership for pupils, students and apprentices*.
  • * With these two memberships the reward is halved.
  • For each newly referred member the reward can be claimed only once.
  • Referring current and former members of Schlierf GmbH & Co. KG is excluded from this offer.
  • Later claims to a reward cannot be made.

Reserve your reward

This puts your reward aside while the paperwork is still on its way. To pay out, reception needs the signed form and the membership contract.

Signed in? Then we'll fill this in for you. Zu Mein Bereich de — afterwards you'll land back here.

Which membership did they take out? optional

* With a trial membership and with the membership for pupils, students and apprentices the reward is halved.

Your reward — exactly one *

Registering an interest does not replace the form: to pay out, reception needs the signed referral form and the membership contract enclosed with it.
