Handicap Service - Summary, Benefits, Subscribe

Summary of Service

The Golfscoretracker handicap card is a credit card sized handicap certificate that gives you an up to date record of your golf handicap. It is a plastic card that fits neatly into your wallet or purse so you can keep it with you at all times. Should you ever be asked to show your golf handicap, be at it at a UK course, on holiday overseas, or at a golf day, you can then produce it as proof of your handicap and playing ability.

The golf handicaps are calculated according to the exact same specification and rules used by the UK and US handicapping systems and are recognised at golf clubs throughout the world.

A Platinum Account subscription is only £14.95 for 12 months * and includes:

• Four new handicap cards a year
• A recognised handicap certificate
• 12 months’ Premium website membership
• An easy to use system for ordering new cards on request

How does it work?

1. Welcome Handicap Pack

When you subscribe to the service you will need to add or have previously added a minimum of three rounds to our score tracking system so that we can calculate your handicap. As soon as you have done that we will send you a Welcome Handicap Pack containing the following:

Your handicap card
A welcome letter

2. Four new cards a year!

As part of the service you can receive four new handicap cards a year. The first card is sent with your welcome pack and will be dated with the date that you subscribed to the service (once you have added three or more rounds). You can then request three more new cards over your 12 month subscription period.

A new card is only sent to you when you request one, which means that you will receive it exactly when you want to receive it. For instance you may want a new card because you are going to play overseas on holiday in Spain or Portugal where handicap certificates are required to play many of the courses, or it might be because you have a golf competition coming up, or because your handicap has gone down a digit (congratulations!) or even up (it happens to us all!). In essence you are in complete control of when you receive your three additional cards a year.

3. 12 months’ Premium Membership Included

When you subscribe to the Platinum Account Handicap Card Service, you will also get 12 months’ Premium website membership included. Premium membership gives you access to lots more website features and functionality such as:

Advanced score tracking and in-depth game analysis.
Additional round stats & performance reports in simple graphical format.

Ability to record advanced stats; putts, FIR, GIR, bunker shots, sand saves.
