Create a golf society or golfing group

The golf group and society system allows you to run your golf society online maintaining handicaps for all society members, running events and competitions including yearly leaderboards, comparing stats amongst society golfers and much more.

The following information will walk you through creating and using the society feature.

Step 1

To create a new group or society login and access the Groups/Leagues section. From here you can use the central link to access the new group wizard for creating your golf society online.
