FAQs

What is vGolf?

vGolf is a virtual daily golf competition run in conjunction with your daily round of handicapped golf at any authorised golf club that can validate your score with Golf Link on the day.

Why should I participate in the virtual daily golf competition?

vGolf’s mission is to unite all golfers who play daily at their specific golf club in one virtual daily competition.

How do I enter vGolf’s competition?

Can I play a social round or by myself to count as a valid round?

Do I have to play in a competition at the authorised golf club for my round to be considered valid?
