New from Golf Australia, login to view handicaps

Posted: 31st August 2018 in Golf Management, MiClub Golf

As of Tuesday 4th September 2018, all members need to login to view their handicap history. Golf Australia have implemented a new player login process to increase communication and provide better support for golf clubs and members. All members will need to visit the Golf Australia website and register to create a new user login. When a member clicks to view their handicap history in the MiClub member portal, they will be directed to a Golf Australia registration page where they can create a new login. Once registered, members will need to remain logged in to view their handicap history directly from the members portal.

To avoid confusion, it is important to advise your members how to register with Golf Australia to view their handicap information and history. Here are some other key points you should communicate to members registering with Golf Australia:

• Players do not need an email address to register, alternatively a phone number can be used. 
• Anyone can register to use the handicapping service on www.golf.org.au (not just club members).
• Registered players can opt-out of any direct marketing from Golf Australia. 
• Players can remain logged-in to Golf Australia to avoid entering a password every time handicaps are viewed. 
• Golf Australia’s privacy policy can be viewed at www.golf.org.au/privacypolicy

Advise members to register with this easy 5-step process. 

1. Open online member portal

Players login to the MiClub member portal through their club website. 

2. Click to view handicap history 

Click to view handicap history, this will open the Golf Australia registration page. Alternatively, members can access this registration page through the Golf Australia website. 

 

3. Complete registration form

If your members do not know their Golf Link number, it will be visible at the top of the page. Please note, if a member accesses the registration page directly through the Golf Australia website, their Golf Link number will not appear at the top of the page. Additionally, if you have members without an email address, they can also register using a phone number. 

 

4. Confirm email

Once a member has completed the registration, they will need to check their designated email inbox to confirm the email address. Once the email has been confirmed, the user will be directed back to the Golf Australia website. 

5. Login

Login and access handicap information! Once a member has logged in to Golf Australia they can remain logged in each time they visit the website. If your members view handicap information on other devices, they will need to login on each device.
