- If you join during a season, you will get the card about one to two weeks after we received your payment.
- Generally the card is not needed to participate in tournaments, what is more important is that you are listed in the players list.
How is my score and my handicap administered?
- If you are playing a tournament in an austrian Golf Club, your score will be registered automatically.
- If you are playing a tournament outside of Austria, please make sure, that your name on the tournament registration (starting list) is spelled exactly the same as on the Strawberry Tour scoreboard (player's list). After a tournament please check that your score is reflected in the Strawberry Tour scoreboard. The Strawberry Tour administers their scoreboard, however your handicap is administered by your home Golf Club.
To determine which handicap-group you are in, your handicap at the day of registration for the Strawberry Tour is used, which does not change during the season.
