    Nope, you need to be a member of a GUI affiliated club to be issued a handicap

    You could get a distance membership which would be fairly cheap.

    YOu could also try find a golf society which is affiliated with the GUI. Pretty sure you can get a handicap that way too

    You can get a society handicap that way but it only entitles you to play society golf. You must join a golf club to get a GUI handicap.

    Cheers for the help guys, I wasn't sure what the story was in terms of getting one with a golf society.

    Where did you hear this? I don't think this ever existed, not in the last few years anyway

    I've met numerous people who believe this to be true :confused:

    Did you even read that? Especially the part about returning the scores better than CSS to the player's home club...and the point after it?
