The International Golfers Club has a system which enables you to get a handicap card even if you don't belong to an ordinary golf club.

12. Can I contact members for stuff other than golf?

The GolfersMatch scheme is specifically designed for golfers to arrange matches and we would ask members to respect this. However, when you're out on the course you'll be able to find out lots of information about the local restaurants, places to stay, other fine golf courses etc. from your golfing partner or partners.

13. What if I want to find a member I know is in the GolfersMatch community?

Sign in to GolfersMatch, click on 'search for matching golf partner' and in the 'search a member' page fill in your friends' Golfersmatch member username and hit the find button. You'll find them as because all GolfersMatch usernames are unique.

If you search again with slightly different criteria you will get a new set of matches.

15. What if I hit someone with a golf ball?

It is a rare occurrence but most people have had a 'near miss' on the course, so it is advisable to have a personal golf accident insurance if only for that incredible 'hole in one' that could cost you a fortune in the bar or lose you your amateur status. GolfersMatch are not responsible for any consequences of a game arranged through our service, not even for a hole in one.
Please read the Terms and Conditions of Membership for more information.
