What can I win?

Every participant will be given a customised downloadable certificate, indicating the course you played at, your final point score and those of the Major winners. This is a piece of memorabilia that belongs at the top of your list, and a whole lot better than the toaster you won in 2003.

To qualify as the winner of National Golf Day, you will need to play with someone. This is in the spirit of participation, as well as the requirement to sign the scorecard. Should you be declared the winner of National Golf Day, all your playing partners will be required to sign off on your digital card. Furthermore, to qualify as the winner, you will need to have a clean bill of health at your home club, including but not limited to being in good standing, have no objections lodged against you in the last 12 months pertaining to any event etc...

What does it cost to play?

The courses that have come onboard have generously agreed to charge everyone their member rates or better on the day. So, even if you are not a member of a club you want to play at, you will pay their member rate. Dependent on club, this could vary from R100 to R400. The latter could include a compulsory cart etc. In any event, we are sure you will find a club that suits your specific needs. You will find a list of these courses on our website. Please book your round at the golf club of your choice.

To play against the 6 Major winners will cost you nothing. That's right it's FREE to play against all six of them in 2019. To play against these Pro's please register on the National Golf Day website.

When is National Golf Day?

What is National Golf Day?

The National Golf Day is a celebration of all things golf and a chance for all of us to challenge 6 of South Africa's Major winners in a live scoring event. You will be playing against South Africa's 6 major winners: Gary Player, Sally Little, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman. You will play against them off your handicap in a Stableford scoring format. Don't worry if this sounds like Greek to you. Simply download our live scoring APP called ScoreCapture (it's FREE and available in both Android and IOS - www.scorecapture.co.za ) select the course you are playing at, enter your handicap and technology will do the rest!

Who do I play against?

Besides playing against 6 of South Africa's major winners: Gary Player, Sally Little, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel, Retief Goosen and Trevor Immelman, you will also be playing against the rest of South Africa; an exciting prospect in its own right!

What is the maximum handicap I can play off?

All players will be required to obtain their Handicap Index from the HNA website prior to registering for their round.

  • The club must use their Course Handicap Conversion Tables to determine the player's Course Handicap for the day.
  • All players can select the colour course they wish to play and use the corresponding Course Handicap applicable to the colour course.
  • Players without official handicaps need to play off their last official handicap and if they never had a handicap before, they play off a maximum Course Handicap of 24. Please note that players without an official / registered handicap index will not be eligible for the overall prize.

Why is my course not listed?

All clubs are encouraged to participate, if you can't find yours it's because they have not yet chosen to be involved, speak to your Club Management and help them get involved.

How do you contact us if you have any queries?

We have an online form you can use to contact us if you have any queries. We like to think we are pretty much on the ball, so you should hear from us within 24 hours! Contact us here.
