Your Golf Handicap

How do I get a handicap?

An official Golf Australia Handicap can only be obtained by joining a golf club such as Gordon Golf Club. Competitions require players to have an official Golf Australia Handicap to be eligible to compete.

To gain a handicap, players must submit 3×18 hole scorecards countersigned by someone with a current golflink handicap. With the handicap, the player is allocated a GolfLink Number, which is a number unique to them. GolfLink is Australia’s handicap system software, and by logging on to www.golfaustralia.com.au players can monitor their scores and view their most up-to-date handicap.

GolfLink is a computerised handicapping system with two features that set it apart from other world handicapping systems. It calculates handicaps according to how difficult the course was on the day and it utilises a swipe card so players can access their handicap from any GolfLink terminal in Australia.
