Update #1: Thursday 17 July 2025

CONFIRMATION OF DATES FOR TRANSITION TO GOLF AUSTRALIA CONNECT

 

Rollout dates:

As per the communique sent to all clubs by Golf Australia earlier today, Golf Australia CONNECT will go live to golfers and golf organisations from Thursday October 2.

MiClub clients will be transitioned to Golf Australia Connect between 28 September and 10 October, with a full timetable of system upgrades to be provided in due course.

As per Golf Australia’s recommendation it is strongly recommended that clubs do not schedule handicap golf from September 29 for a period of 2 weeks. We recommend that all clubs advise members of these applicable dates when handicapping will not be available.

Internal daily club competitions (all formats), including normal procedures for prize allocations and posting, can still be run through the MiClub golf management system during this time.

Golf Australia have provided the following provisional timetable in respect to the implementation of the new Golf Australia Connect handicapping platform:
