Can I play in a competition before my Golf ID card arrives?

   

 

Yes, to enter a competition, all you need is your Golf ID number, and a Golf Australia handicap (obtained once 54 holes of golf have been submitted).

The day we activate your handicap, we will email you your new Golf ID number. When you play in a competition, simply tell the club your Golf ID number and they will be able to verify your handicap with that. After playing in a club competition, the club will enter your score on Golf Connect following the days play and the system will update your handicap automatically. Keep in mind some Clubs upload competition rounds the next day so be patient. In the event a couple of days has past and there’s no score uploaded to your record, simply reach out to the Host Club.
