Handicap card
If you are not a member of a golf club, how does one go about getting a handicap card? My friend in Australia is asking me to bring one to play courses there. Thanks.

So, if you are not a member of either of the above, you will not have an official handicap because the RCGA owns the handicap system.

Thanks for the info. Seems a bit restrictive...I guess I'll have to look into option 2.

That's a better option. According to the GAO website, they won't send you a kit until April...this doesn't help me for my Australia trip but will keep it in mind for the future. Thanks for the info.

You should borrow one from a friend that is a member.
I was just looking @ my RCGA member card and the 2005 season card is valid until March 31st 2006.
Just write a handicap on the back of it and sign it yourself. IMO the whole process is pretty silly considering how easy it is to forge a handicap (all it takes is a random signature)/
Odds are you won't even need to show the card (I've been overseas and told by the course to bring the card, but have never once been asked), but it's better to be safe than sorry and this is an easy way to take care of the problem with as little hassle as possible.
