Golf between Australia and New Zealand to become more compatible

Golf in Australia is a step closer to being more compatible with New Zealand visitors.

Kiwis currently cannot enter their membership number and obtain a golf card with their handicap on it.

But from October there will be one main website for Australian golfers and that will benefit visiting New Zealand golfers.

In New Zealand we use the DotGolf system to record our scores and from October the Australians will be on the same technology platform.

DotGolf chief executive Dean Murphy said that will mean a New Zealand player will be able to use their mobile phone application and enter scores while in Australia.

``Scores will flow freely between the counties,’’ Murphy said.
