Golf Impact Competition
The Golf Impact competition is for golfers who love freedom and a little fire.
No fixed play days, no complicated regulations, just playing when it suits you. Every 14 days you get a new opponent, and together you arrange where and when you play.
Whether you work in the hospitality industry, have irregular services or just like to determine your own agenda, you can participate in Golf Impact!

How are the competitions drawn?
In the first round, players are linked within their own League based on their handicap. The layout is then determined on the basis of draw and whether you are available in a round.
When should I play my game?
Every two weeks you will receive Eenmail with your next opponent. From that date you have 4 weeks to determine a date and location with your opponent and actually play the match.
What if I don't have time to play? Or if I am injured? Or is not possible at the end?
Via 'My competition' you can indicate when you are unable to attend (vacation, illness, no sense). You will not receive an opponent for that period. You are expected to play at least 8 games in total.
Are you suddenly prevented (overtime, informal care, sick/weak or nauseous)? Then contact your opponent and immediately make a new appointment.
Note: A no-show without consultation with your opponent is always converted into a lost match (4 & 3)
Which game form is being played?
The competition is played in Matchplay format . This means that you play per hole for the win, instead of a total score over 9 or 18 holes.
Do I play 9 or 18 holes? And where do I play it? And from which tee?
You decide the number of holes entirely yourself. The standard competition is 9 holes, but you can also play 18 holes if you prefer.
You and your opponent will choose a golf course in the Amsterdam area . This makes the competition accessible and flexible. If you prefer to play further afield, that's certainly allowed! You can also play your matches indoors if you agree on that together.
You will play from the tee that matches the NGF recommendations for the course you have chosen.
How do I pass on my result?
After the game you and your opponent enter the result via our online portal. This is easy to do via your phone.
What if my opponent and I disagree about the result?
If there are discussions about the result, please contact the organization. We can assess the situation and, where necessary, use the NGF rules.
Need even more rules?
We will supplement these rules where it appears to be where necessary
