HelloGolfers is all about golf. It is by golfers for golfers. Golf is about more than just hitting the ball further and straighter or shooting lower scores. Of course, we love all that stuff, but we also love and enjoy the human part of the game.

When you join HelloGolfers you will get an official SAGA affiliation golf membership handicap. Anyone can join. Pay visitors rates at over 400 SAGA golf clubs in South Africa. Membership is renewable annually.
The current handicapping system is based on your last 20 scores. The calculation takes the best 8 of your last 20 scores. The Handicap index is then calculated (HI). This is used to work out your course index (CI) either by looking it up on the SAGA app or a handicap sheet displayed at the club you are playing at.
Handicaps Network Africa is the appointed handicap provider for the official golf handicaps in South Africa. After you have been registered with SAGA and the HNA you will receive an email containing your HNA Login information. With this information you will be able to login to the HNA app and access your golf profile.

No there are no monthly fees! A once off fee is paid annually which currently is R1449. Annual membership fees are payable by 15 January. You will be notified by email when it is time to renew your membership.
For new members, who have not been handicapped before, Handicaps Network Africa requires your last 3 scores to generate your initial handicap. Once the scores are captured the HNA system calculates your handicap overnight. It is not immediate. Only the last 3 scores will be used to generate your initial handicap. Thereafter your handicap will adjust as you submit scores. No more than 3 scores may be entered initially.
We do not issue cards! All you actually need is the HNA Handicaps app and your HNA Player ID. You can open your round on the HNA Handicaps app. At the end of the round, you enter your score on the app. Your physical handicap card will be issued to Brandford Golf Club and can be couriered to you at a fee if you so request.
