You no longer have to be a club member to get a golf handicap

New initiative enables golfers who are not members of golf clubs to obtain an official handicap index.

INITIATIVE: Golfers who are not club members can now get a handicap, says Golf Ireland

GOLF IRELAND has introduced a new initiative aimed at giving 'independent' golfers in Ireland - those who are not members of a club - access to an official golf handicap. 

For the first time, non-club members in Ireland can subscribe to iGolf and gain a Handicap Index under the World Handicap System (WHS), for an annual subscription fee of €65 in the Republic and £55 in the north.
