A little about Golf Australia CONNECT

Golf Australia CONNECT (Formerly Golf Link) is Golf Australia’s national computerised golf handicapping system that started officially in January 1999. Members use their Golf ID to access handicaps at golf clubs around Australia. The number is used to confirm and update handicaps, verify club memberships and enter competitions. The centralised system is overseen by Golf Australia and replaced the existing club-based handicap systems. All golfers are issued with a Golf ID which is used by club systems to identify the golfer to the national handicapping system.
