Golf Australia to house handicap functions
In a game-changing move for Australian golf , the commercial rights to Golf Link will return to the sport ’ s governing body .
From 1st April 2017 all Australian golf club members will check their handicap information and scoring history via the Golf Australia home page at www . golf . org . au .
Golf Australia will continue using MPower MSL to service the Golf Australia Handicap System , and collaborate on enhancements to the online experience for Australian golfers .
The sophisticated system ensures the hundreds of thousands of golf members will continue to enjoy a world class online handicapping service and make golf stronger in Australia .
“ It ’ s a significant occurrence for Golf Australia and golf in this country to regain the full rights to the Golf Link program ,” GA chief executive Stephen Pitt said .
“ We will be able to exert more influence on the service we provide to golfers and hopefully give them a great experience as they check movement in their handicap and playing results .
“ It will strengthen our ability to invest in golf and help drive our important development programs such as MyGolf and Swing Fit .
“ It will allow us to better communicate with golfers around the country and make golf stronger in Australia , so it ’ s a very important milestone .”
