Golf Australia Connect - Frequently Asked Questions

Who should I contact with questions regarding Golf Connect? 

All questions regarding the implementation of Golf Connect or Golf Australia agreements should be forwarded to Matt Chesterman - Head of Transformation (Golf Australia Connect) Email: help@golf.org.au

Can my club continue to use MiClub software with Golf Connect? 

Golf Australia Connect does not impact the MiClub software systems you currently use. Your existing solutions—OneGolf, MiClub Golf, and MiScore—will continue to operate as they do today and will interface to Golf Australia Connect.

What are the rollout dates for Golf Connect? 

The Golf Australia CONNECT platform will NOT go live before August 31, 2025.  No dates have been finalised for the Golf Connect implementation and interface development and testing processes are still underway.

Will MiClub be providing materials around system implementation and training? 

Once a suitable schedule has been established, MiClub will be providing a series of Webinars, Support Documentation and Videos to assist clients in understanding the changes.

What changes can clubs expect in the new system? 

MiClub anticipate that minor changes to your current golf management procedures will be applicable in the new Golf Connect setup. Please note that all changes to system processes will be clearly communicated to all clubs via a number of channels prior to the implementation of Golf Connect. 

System changes are likely to include the following: 

• Different processes for the creation of temporary courses 
• 9 hole handicap calculations will change
• Removal of total scores entry
• Split 3rd indexes will be disabled by GA
• Ad-hoc score entry for initial handicap cards will be hole by hole scores and far more straightforward
• GOLF IDs (formerly a players GolfLink number) will be with the player for life
• No changes to bookings or competition management (incl MiScore app)
• When the transition period is announced and live, no scores can be processed for handicapping during that downtime period set by GA / MiClub
