New GolfVic affiliation rules mean that each year Romsey Golf Club will pay the annual affiliation fee (~$50.00) for anyone with a RGC GolfLink number who uses that GolfLink number. This means that we will de-list all non-financial members with GolfLink and these player’s GolfLink numbers will not be active. To reactivate a GolfLink number a player simply has to become a financial member at RGC or another golf club.
If you are an experienced golfer who has just moved into the area or if you, or another member of your family, is thinking of taking up golf for the very first time; please come down to the club, play a round and meet representatives from the committee and other club members.
