Golfseekers has extended its membership to include both FULL and Basic members
This means you can join golfseekers (as a basic member) and remain in your existing Country Club
Golfseeker run multi comps on a weekly basis. Leagues in Stableford ,Blitz & Strokeplay - CTTH (CC based) Putting League (CC based)
Golfseeker Opens its doors for new members and the new season starts on Monday 16th May. Before the season starts We are running our usual pre-seasonal Pro-Am comp (starts 30th April) to allow all newbies the chance to witness and experience life in golfseekers. It allows all new members to meet and play with existing GS members and to learn the ropes before heading into the new season.
Full member Vs Basic member ?
Full members get to play in all GS comps and are elligble to claim prizes of REAL CASH, merchandise and other prizes. They also recieve loyalty points which can be used to play in GS challenges.Casino. Arcade and other on site facilities.
Basic members can play in selected leagues and cannot play in GS challenges or prize featured comps based in the GS CC. They can however win certain prizes in non cc based comps.
All members will be issued with a GS handicap before commencing a season and the handicap is adjusted on a per game basis in accordance with official handicapping guidelines. (As in the REAL game)
Unlike others we run multiple events EVERY week. So you can play many weekly comps. (more if a full member) You can pick all or some. We understand that not everyone has the time to dedicate themselves to play in all, however, we do ask that the ones you do play you continue to do so to complete the requirements of a particular comp (example: best 9 of 12 would require a minimum of 9 games in 12 weeks)
Golfseeker is a little different to what you normally see in non WGT community run events. Why? We use a "official" PGA handicapping software system to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity of success. We provide tools for a one click scorecard saving process without the need for re-sizing and direct upload to the GS forum. You have access to complete hole by hole scoring analysis along with game by game handicap adjustments ensuring that you are playing to your correct ability.
We do not suffer from quitters, simply because they are penalized in handicap should they occur.(effectively giving them a disadvantage in future matches)
We have various communication channels used to arrange matches between players. Mainly using skype as the most efficient tool.
We offer full members the chance to win REAL cash prizes along with other comps that bring in WGT merchandise and REAL tangible prizes. ALL free to enter and play.
A word of warning.... We conduct a strict policy of "activity" Skype (Free and easy) is also a must have requirement. Failure to remain "active", will result in removal from GS site activities. So before you take the plunge make sure you wish to remain active. You will need to have been a WGT member for a minimum of 3 months and have a history of at least 20 ranked games.
All tiers (above hack) are welcome but are subject to the above conditions
