Steps to become a New Golfer
Before using any facility including Driving Range(s) at any of the two golf courses, a new golfer must fill up and submit Form 1 to his/her respective club office. Form 1 can be collected from the Starter of either course. Once form 1 is processed and approved, the respective club will begin deducting the monthly golf subscription which is ₹2000 (+18% GST).
After Form 1 has been submitted and reasonable amount of proficiency has been achieved through practice and/or training, the golfer must pass the following tests to be conducted on mentioned parameters at either of the courses. Date and time can be fixed with the handicap committee.
- Bunker-out Test – Get a minimum 6 out of 10 balls out of the bunker on to the Chipping Green.
- Chipping Test - A minimum 6 out of 10 balls must stay on the Chipping Green.
- Play holes - Play first four holes (either at Beldih or at Golmuri) where golfer must score 10 over par or better.
- Bunker-out Test – Get a minimum 6 out of 10 balls out of the bunker on to the Chipping Green.
After passing the above tests the golfer will be issued Form 2 to be filled and submitted to the Starter. In case the golfer fails the test, he/she can reappear for the test after a minimum gap of 10 days.
After submission of Form 2 the golfer can start playing rounds along with any member golfer who already holds a handicap, and submit his/her physical scorecards to the course starter. Rounds should be played only when the course is free i.e. after 7 AM on weekdays only. In order to get a handicap the player must submit minimum of 5 cards of 18 holes, or 10 cards of 9 holes, or in any combination of 9/18 making a minimum of 90 holes. All scorecards must be duly signed by the accompanying member who already has an official handicap and will act as a Marker.
After submission of cards as explained above, golfer may contact the Handicap Committee for a handicap test. A handicap test will be conducted by evaluating the golfer's performance in minimum 4 holes (Holes 1 - 4 of either of Beldih or Golmuri golf courses). Based on the field evaluation and submitted cards, the committee shall determine whether to allot a handicap or not. If golfer clears the evaluation and is approved for allotment of handicap, he/she will be advised by the committee to deposit his 18-hole golf contribution of ₹ 59,000 at the Golmuri club. Subsequently, a Handicap Index along with course handicaps for both golf courses shall be allotted.
