The new GOLF.com.au website system is up and running and is now the only place where you can access your Australian golf handicap.
The site is a one-stop shop for the Australia golf industry and is the new combined home of Golf Australia, the PGA of Australia and the WPGA.
All the services, information and assistance you previously accessed at the former golf sites should be available there – though one might expect a few teething problems and familiarity issues here and there.
GOLF.com.au will be the only place to access your GA Handicap and other details.
If you had an existing handicap you will have to log in with your previous Golf LINK number (now defunct) which should have has transitioned to a new Golf ID.
What is a Golf ID?
The new identifier for each individual Australian golfer that takes the place of a Golf Link number. Your Golf ID is how you log into GOLF.com.au, including the free tier without a GA Handicap.
The Golf ID is a lifetime number that will not change when a golfer changes golf clubs.
For those with an existing Golf Link number, the Golf ID will use the same number, while new golfers will be assigned a Golf ID.
Participants of MyGolf or Get Into Golf will be issued a Golf ID upon successful registration.
As we reported previously some golfers may find a personal handicap change under the new system. See:
