How to upload your handicap certificate

Introduction

Greetings Golfers!

As part of facilitating connections between golf club members Golf Lists verifies that our members are members at the golf clubs they claim to be.

This increases trust in the system and encourages reciprocal matches between golfers that are mutually beneficial.

When you create your Golf Lists Profile, you will be asked to upload a handicap certificate. The purpose of this is not to verify your handicap, but in fact to verify you golf club membership.

Only once you are verified will you be able to edit records for your golf club and connect with other golf club members for reciprocal matches.

Where to find your handicap certificate?

You can find your handicap certificate in the following locations:

1. MyEG App on your phone
2. MyEG App on your PC
3. HowDidiDo App on your phone
4. Other

Please note, you are not required to black out your personal data, because the certificate will not be publicly visible.
