Now get out there and try it!

So why have so many golfers persevered? Why is golf such a passion to so many?
Well…….. it is just so rewarding in so many ways. Socially, physically, and mentally, golf enhances the wellbeing of people without regard to their age, gender, religion or nationality.

Are you ready for a new era in competition golf? Our comps allow players of all abilities to play from anywhere, anytime, while enjoying the benefits of playing against a community of golfers. Here’s how you can get involved.
Golf competitions have always been a staple of our beloved game. Think community, the chance to challenge yourself and beat your mates, and of course, great prizes! While our lives outside of golf have evolved, standard competitions haven’t kept up, and their restrictive nature doesn’t match our busy lifestyles.
Too many players aren’t bothering with competitions because they can’t commit to a single club or access regular tournaments. So, we decided to change all that!
Welcome to Australia’s largest online golf competition! that allows players with an official Golf Australia Handicap to play against golfers from across the country. We wanted our competition to be super flexible, so players from all walks of life and abilities could compete fairly no matter where they are or when they can play.
“It was hard to see so many people unable to participate in competition golf because of time, expense and location restrictions”. says Emajin CEO Raj Narayan. “We are really excited to bring Australia’s largest online competition to life and welcome such a diverse and inclusive community to the world of golf competitions.”

GOLF TIP – Lowering Your Score ✨
???? The key is to practice your chipping and putting instead of the long game!
FIVE key tips to help lower your score:
1. Limit the risk – choose the shot you can execute the highest percentage of the time
2. Pace your putts – as a rule of thumb add one inch to your backswing for every foot of putting distance
3. Short Shots – Choke down, narrow stance and lean weight forward
4. Speed and Sand – two major things to remember for good bunker play
5. Putt, Chip, Pitch – Putt whenever you can. Chip when you can’t putt, Pitch only when you have to
