Official Handicaps For Social Players
Can’t afford to join a club? Prefer to play at many different courses rather than predominately at one? Want a nationally recognised Australian handicap so you can play in some of those competitions you read about?
Then Golf Access might be for you.
Golf Access is an initiative of Golf Australia. It provides an opportunity for social golfers to participate more fully in golf competitions and also assists and supports golf clubs through a variety of nationally coordinated club development initiatives.
Social golfers joining Golf Access receive the following benefits:
- A Golf Australia Handicap, administered through GOLF Link and giving access to various golf competitions and providing a monitor of your progress.
- Golf Australia’s Player Insurance Coverage, through Sportscover, which includes cover for loss and damage of clubs, personal liability and personal accident insurance.
- Access to Rules books, general information and a GOLF Link Card.
Cost is $99 per year with a pro-rata amount payable depending on when you join.
If you are interested in joining the program, see the Join A Club page at the Golf Access website.
The Victorian Golf Association has a list of courses you can nominate as home courses.
In NSW see the NSW Golf Association.
If anyone can find a link on the Golf Queensland site, let me know and I will update this post.
South Australia and Western Australia seem to miss out entirely.
I actually signed up today and nominated Goonawarra as my “home” course.
