GOLF AUSTRALIA CHANGES
Heads up from G.A. re changes coming to the technology used to enhance your golf experience.
Golf Australia is undertaking a major digital transformation that includes the transition away from the 25-year-old GOLF Link platform to a new system called Golf Australia CONNECT.
Thisnew platform will provide enhanced technology services to more than 1,900 golf clubs across Australia.
For golfers, there will be two key changes coming from October 2 later this year.
A new Official Golf Australia App will replace the existing GA Handicap App. This app will retain the existing handicap lookup feature and introduce a range of exciting new tools.
Secondly, there will be a new portal to access your GA Handicap. This will be done via Golf Australia and the PGA of Australia’s new website, GOLF.com.au which goes live on October 2.
Prior to the October 2 transition, the only thing you need to do is check your existing golf.org.au account details are up to date.
If you don't already have an online account, and you wish to view your handicap history online or use the new GA App following the transition, you will need to create an account at golf.org.au.
From October 2, golf.org.au will automatically redirect to the new GOLF.com.au website.
In order to undertake the transition effectively, Golf Australia has advised all clubs and venues there will be an offline period from the evening of September 28 through to October 2. During this short period, rounds of golf played will not be able to be handicapped.
While some clubs will regain access to the new platform from October 2, up to two weeks will be required for clubs affiliated with MiClub to fully integrate and provide clubs with handicap functions.
Match Committee will keep you updated nearer the transition.
See you on the course….
