What do I need to play competition golf?

The first step to be able to play Competition Golf is to become a member of the golf club.

 

After you have joined the Golf Club you will need to get a GolfLink Handicap. You will be able to discuss this process with the Club.

 

For Members of Gove Country Golf Club wishing to get a GolfLink Handicap - simply play 3 x 18 holes of Golf with another Gove Country Golf Club member - who will verfiy your score and assist with the process of recording and submitting your score.

 

Contact our Club Captian - Gus Gomez (Email: golfinggovecomps@gmail.com) to get advice on the correct process of obtaining your GolfLink Handicap.

​

What is a GolfLink handicap?

GolfLink is an international standard for assessing Golfers ability and this is used to provide you with a Handicap which will be used to help you score against another player.

 

In essence - a Handicap allows players of different levels to compete against each other on a 'level playing field'. i.e If you are a new player and you have an Handicap of 40 and you are playing against a player who has played for many years and has a Handicap of 5. The Handicap will balance the game - by making it more difficult for the better play to score the same number of points as the newer player. In essence, your larger handicap is subtracted from you score (obviously depending on the game format). i.e  A golfer with a handicap of 40 gets to 'take off' 40 shots off their final total in a stroke round, whereas a 5 Handicap golfer doesn’t get much help - only 5 shots that can be taken off

​

Does the club have storage facilities? 

YES!!
