One of the best things about an online golf club is that it lets you talk golf whenever you wish, wherever you are, and at all those times when you can’t get out on a course and play as often as they would like.
There are so many advantages to an online golf club, not the least of which is a golf courses guide which many of them produce, and golf course reviews by other members. Golf course guides and reviews are exactly what you need if you want to play some different courses when you are going on holiday. Not only can you find reviews of courses by other members, but you can add your own reviews also in many of the online clubs.
Another advantage is that you can take part in the forums that they have. While some of them are merely social chit-chat, you will also be able to pick up tips and tricks, often from pros who are members also.
Golf is a game that on the ‘face of it’ appears to be very straightforward: you hit a ball with a stick in order to get it into a small hole. However, as we all know, there is a myriad of things to overcome and it will take you some time and a lot of practice to master the game.
If you are a new player you will have all sorts of questions, such as how to go about getting a handicap.
Getting a golf handicap requires you to play 54 holes – ideally 3 rounds of 18 holes, but it can be a mix - and you need to be a member of a golf club affiliated to one of the eight unions which are part of the Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU). You then submit three or more cards signed by a “responsible” club member and the club will then allocate a handicap based on the best card.
However, if you are just looking to play ‘social golf’ you can use the handicap trackers provide by one of the many online golf clubs in the UK, often for free or as part of your annual membership fee.
