If you’ve previously held a Golf link number or Golf ID number, we’ll simply reactivate it and your old record. You can indicate this one the sign-up page. If you can’t remember your number, you should be able to obtain it from the Club you were a member of previously.
To activate a first-time handicap, you need to complete three steps: application, payment, and 54 holes of scorecards. These scorecards can be entered through any combination of 9 and/or 18-hole rounds.
Our standard process is to wait until all three steps are completed before activating the golfer’s entity on Golf Connect (Golf Australia’s Handicap Platform). However, some golfers prefer to receive their Golf ID number before submitting their scorecards. In these cases, the handicap will appear as ‘Pending’ on Golf Connect until 54 holes of scores are entered on the golfer’s playing history.
Rounds for handicap can be scored and submitted via our app (instructions below) or scored on a manual scorecard scored by and marked by another player with an active Golf ID.

Once you’ve submitted 54 holes of compliant scorecards Golf Australia will automatically issue you with a handicap. You can then view your handicap record on the golf.com.au website. Note you may need to register first using your Golf ID number.
