At your clubs...

[bobcat]

Does an associate member as we call them, or someone on a flexible pay a small annual fee and then pay and play membership, are they entitled to a official congu handicap and able to enter competitions at your clubs?

Is there any literature anyone has on EGU or Congu rulings on this?

Or is it down to the individual club?

Any help appreciated.

Decision 8(a) on page 96 of the CONGU handbook defines what kind of memberships can have CONGU handicaps.

We have (had) a scheme where members could pay a limited fee and be entitled to play twelve rounds a year including comps (to maintain handicaps). Worked well for a mate who was made redundant and so took advantage to keep membership. Only allowable for a single year though and then back to full subs or move on

Each club around the county offer different kinds of associate membership, the local course to my house have this as there associate membership, play after 2pm and you can't enter comps and you must have your handicap at another club.

Some offer an associate membership offering limited rounds but you can enter comps but must pay a green fee and entry fee

The associate membership at our gaff has no joining fee and full playing rights, no restrictions on time of play or comps, handicaps etc. The only thing you lose out on is voting rights.

I used this category to join my wife for the last two years, but, the annual increase for the associate has been a bit steep. Whilst it may be cheaper than paying the joining fee in the short term, it doesn't seem that it will be much cheaper in the long term, but then it is billed as a short term option. Fortunately for me, we revised the junior membership fees this year, and my sons membership has come down significantly, more than 50%, and will be a few years before he gets back to where he was! which means I can offset that against transferring the wife onto full membership without increasing my payments any more than the full membership annual increase.

Just wish we had a deal for family memberships, there are quite a few families with two, three or more family members playing.

Our club has a credit scheme of which Im a member. I pay a joining fee then buy as many credits as I want.
This gives me full members rights. I can vote,play in all comps and play for the club so great scheme
