What is Golf Link?

 

 

 

Golf Link is the ONLY provider of Australian golf's national handicapping system. Our "online hook" for EVERY golf club member is each golfers handicap, which every club member can access at www.golflink.com.au. This is why Golf Link is Australia's #1 golf website and has a 'Mature Independent' and affluent audience delivering:

• In excess of 25,000 Unique Browsers on average per day
• In excess of 2 Million Page Impressions on average per month, with
• 76,415 members on our EDM list.

Over 450,000 club member golfers use our service and can be reached online, by e-mail, direct mail and sponsored content integration opportunities. Golf Link is a quality niche site visited by many golfers at least weekly with strong branding opportunities, low clutter and good click-throughs. Golf Link's online data is measured by Nielsen, and audited by the AMAA.

In April of 2010, and then again in September 2011, Golf Link made the necessary technical amendments to facilitate the implementation of the US system of golf handicapping in Australia. With the overwhelming interest in the changes, Golf Link reached more than three quarters of all Australian club golfers in one month (April 2010 and then again in September 2011). Golf Link launched the final iteration of Golf Australia's latest amendments to the Australian golf handicapping system in 2014.

A golfer's handicap is a critical value - it allows competition golf to be played on an equitable basis at all 1,500+ golf clubs across Australia. As a 'badge of rank' amongst golfers, the integrity of a golfer's golf handicap's is fiercely defended. Golf Link has been trusted to provide this value now for over 12 years.  Golf Link is a veteran of the digital space.
