I also got a Strokesaver free when playing last year. On the handicap certificates, our tee time was booked through the SGU and it says you need to supply one, although I'm pretty sure they didn't ask for it last time.

Hi guys. Just received a further e-mail from Muirfield, with an attachment which I have copied and pasted below. I have also asked them if we require handicap certificates on the day and will feedback to you all here once I have a response.
Cheers.
ARRIVING AT THE COURSE AND VEHICLE PARKING
Please try to arrive at least twenty minutes before your tee time to allow for signing in at the visitors’ reception and taking advantage of the practice facilities, if you wish.
If you arrive by car then please use the HCEG car park which is approximately 400yds on the right-hand side once you turn into Duncur Road. Bus drivers should be aware of the “drop off†point adjacent to the caddy shed. Please do not drive down to the gates to drop golfers off.
Once you’ve parked your vehicle, please bring your clubs (and change of clothing if you are staying for lunch) with you, down to the entrance gates. You will be met at the gates by a member of staff who will direct you to the clubhouse reception area to sign in the visitors’ book. The reception area is located in the hallway via the second main entrance of the clubhouse.
CHANGING FACILITIES
There are changing facilities available and a locker room attendant is always on duty to assist you with your belongings.
PLAYING GOLF
You are more than welcome to use the practice area which is adjacent to the 10th fairway. Please practice from the matted area only. Practice balls are provided, free gratis, and are in situ.
FOURBALLS START FROM BOTH 1ST (RED TEES) AND 10TH (YELLOW TEES) - 6728 YARDS
BLUE TEES FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO PLAY THE SHORT COURSE - 5983 YARDS
Cheers.

I don't think they will ask for it, if it came to it, you could show them your handicap in your account on HDID

Hello again. I've had a reply saying that they DO require us to take handicap certificates, although I'd be surprised if they are actually asked for.
Martin, do you have a CDH number you can show them?

Alternatively you can access the CDH database in the SGU website and print the details from there. It's not exactly a signed certificate (which would be easy to mock up anyway) but should be ok. It's not like its needed for a comp - just to show that we vaguely know our way round a golf course....

I reckon they wont be that strict. They are letting me play when the handicap limit is 18 so they arent stupid on rules or anything by the look of it. A CDH number or a maybe a print out of your handicap off HDID will probably do imo.

Thanks for the update Del, just dusted the "interview" suit off.
Scrambling around for a tie now.
Looking forward to meeting you all, not been up to Scotland for a few years.
Let's hope we play some good golf and have a good laugh (not at our golf
)
