Worcestershire’s 2012 County Card Scheme
The Scheme has expanded again this year to give fantastic value to the members of those clubs who have joined the scheme.
32 counties now reciprocate, allowing you to visit 1265 golf clubs in England.
The new Counties this year are our neighbours Shropshire & Herefordshire.
As part of the negotiation with our clubs the 2012 Worcestershire card will be provided at no cost to the members of clubs included in the scheme!
ENJOY VISITING A HUGE ARRAY OF GOLF COURSES AT A REDUCED PRICE
Gentlemen and Lady Members, including Juniors, of the 29 Worcestershire Clubs affiliated to the County Card Scheme, can apply for a 2012 Worcestershire County Card and then visit 1265 other Golf Clubs across England at a Reduced Green Fee
The cost to join the scheme, or to renew, will be zero!
The plan is to have cards available to carry on from when the 2011 cards expire at the end of March.
The card to identify a Worcestershire County Card holder will be the England Golf Members Benefit card, endorsed on the back with the Worcestershire County Logo. It is made of plastic, the size of a normal credit card to fit your wallet.
This card has the card holder's name and CDH number on the front so clubs you visit will easily be able to identify the holder as a gof club member. When you receive a card you will need to sign in to the England Golf website to activate it.

When can I use the Worcestershire County Card?
2012 cards will be valid from date of issue until 31st March 2013.
How can I obtain a County Card?
Final details are being resolved, the EGU has become England Golf and they need to resolve their logo before we can move forward.
Posters will be going to clubs to explain the new process. It is hoped details will go out next month.
Individual E-mails will be sent explaining the new system to current holders explaining how to renew.
