    Thanks for this. Looks like it is 26.3 rather than 23.6, link here: https://www.golfnet.ie/News%20Listing%20Assets/2019-CONGU-Manual.pdf

    Sorry typo

    Btw my own take on this is if you want a handicap that allows you to play elsewhere you should be paying at a minimum what other playing members are paying. The fact you don’t play much is of no real consequence. I know it sounds harsh but imo clubs should not be in the business of selling handicaps.

    But I guess this is all changing soon. I heard last week that Scottish Golf will be offering full handicaps to non club members next year for a monthly fee. Hope to god the other unions don’t follow

    As far as I know u can have an Official handicap in the USA and not be a member of a club.
    Maybe they are heading that way.
    Not much difference the GUI looking after a handicap for a fee than a Distance Membership.

    English golf union has also said it would be looking into this:

    This could have more affect as the GUI has committed to join with the English/Welsh golf unions in developing new software. Scottish golf is going its own way software wise.
