HANDICAPS

A player must return five single competition cards a year to retain the
Australian Handicap, or that handicap will lapse. To regain a handicap a
player must bring live cards up to the appropriate number. Juniors are
required to return three cards.

A player with multiple club memberships must nominate one club as the
home club. The home club is responsible for maintaining that member's
handicap and must be given the name/s of the other club/s. The member
will also report to the other club/s; the name and course rating of the home
club, the handicap there, and any alterations which may be made to the
handicap from time to time. Where membership has ceased at another club,
report this fact to the home club.

DRESS CODE

The committee requires, that at all times, neat attire befitting the club be
worn on the course and in the clubhouse, and may object to any particular
dress which does not conform to that standard. The committee may
determine particular standards of dress at any time. Members who do not
conform to the dress code; will be cautioned and will be requested to
leave the clubrooms. The following items of dress are unacceptable on
competition days: work shorts, jogger shorts, athletic shorts, track suits,
frayed, torn or soiled trousers, collarless shirts and clothing with
advertising displayed. Golf shoes may be worn in the competition room...

GOLF-LINK SWIPE CARDS

The handicapper will issue a GOLF LINK swipe card to each new member,
after handicaps become official. There is a time delay of a few weeks. In all
events, a player's handicap is shown when registering in the computer; and
shall be used on the day of play. If the computer is not working, use the
handicap as shown in the handicap booklet. Where there is a discrepancy of
handicap between the computer and handicap booklet, use the lower
handicap. To ratify your handicap; notify the handicapper and/or a Match
Committee member as soon as possible. GOLF LINK advises; that should a
card be lost, stolen or damaged, and a replacement card is required by any
member, then a cost of $11.00 will apply. Payment is required in advance
before any new card can be issued. Should the purchase of a new card be
required, then place your order with the Handicapper.
