Membership FAQ

A new member is admitted as soon as the application form is submitted to the office, once details have been entered into the membership database an e-mail with the invoice for fees is generated and sent. Access is granted once Fees are paid in Full.

The membership applications are then approved at the monthly Board of Directors meeting. Following approval at the Board meeting, the member is emailed a notification advising their application has been formally approved.

The Club Financial Year runs from 1st October to 30th September. When a member joins outside this financial year period, the subscription component of the annual fees is pro rata monthly so that members are not paying for the months of the year prior to their joining.

We don’t require a proposer or seconder when joining Nudgee Golf Club

The Entrance Fee is due in full. The subscription fees may be paid in two instalments, this attracts an additional administration fee.

A further option is through a company called Pay As You Golf that enables members to pay their fees monthly via direct debit or credit, refer to www.payasyougolf.com.au for further details. Essentially, Pay As You Golf pay all your fees upfront to the Club, then debit your nominated account monthly.

A Handicap is the average score over par each time you play a competition game of golf. Handicaps are used for each competition game and allow players of all abilities to compete on an equal basis.

Men’s handicap ranges from 0 – 36 and ladies from 0 – 45. Player’s handicaps are adjusted following each competition game based on their score.

GolfLink is a national internet database managed and affiliated with Golf Australia (National Governing Body for Golf Clubs and Members). GolfLink adjusts each person’s handicap after each competition game. Members are allocated a 10 digit personalised number, this number is used to log onto the GolfLink website and view competition rounds and adjusted handicap.

Visit Golf Australia’s website for further details.

Under Golf Australia handicapping rules if you last held a handicap up to 10 years ago, that handicap will be reinstated.

If you last held a handicap over 10 yeas ago you will need to apply for a new handicap, (please refer to question 8 below).

Your current handicap will be transferred from your old club to Nudgee and a new Nudgee GolfLink number will be allocated.

All competition rounds from your previous club will be shown on the GolfLink website and your handicap will remain the same.

Members obtain a handicap by playing 3 completed rounds of 18 holes with a person who holds a current Golf Australia handicap.

Score cards used to obtain a handicap can be social games or played in a club competition. The best score (gross over par) out of the 3 games will determine your starting handicap.

You must return the 3 score cards to the Golf Shop after each round.
