Annual Membership Information

An Adult Playing Member is anyone aged 18 or over on 1 January 2019 with rights to play over the club’s designated golf course(s) regardless of whether they chose to hold a handicap. The club’s affiliation fee is calculated by multiplying the number of Adult Playing Members with the Annual Per Capita charge £14.50.

An Adult Non Playing Member is anyone aged 18 or over on 1 January 2019 who does not have rights to play over the club’s designated course(s). There is no charge for non playing members. These figures are required to obtain a clear set of membership statistics for essential reporting.

A junior member is anyone under 18 years of age on 1 January 2019. There is no charge for junior members. These figures are required to build a geographical picture on our junior membership and assess where we need to focus our resources to develop programmes and help us highlight where strong youth engagement is occurring.

The per capita fee is £14.50 and is frozen until the collection of subscriptions in January 2022. The Annual Affiliation Fee will cover the period 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2020. Your fee is used to provide face-to-face support to our clubs, staging a series of national championships for golfers of all ages and abilities, while maintaining the handicap system to enable golfers of differing abilities, men and women alike, to compete on a fair and equitable basis.

Once the invoice has been raised in January, no changes will be permitted.

If your club is having or anticipating cash flow challenges, we are happy to discuss how we can support your club through it. We can offer payment plans as well as specialised support from our Club Development Officers. Please contact finance@scottishgolf.org in the strictest confidence and one of our finance team will be in touch to discuss further.
