Question 1

What is Golf4u?

Accepted Answer

We are the largest education provider in Sweden for Green Card courses — training for anyone who wants to start playing golf. We believe that education must adapt to the individual, and we've built a digital Green Card course where you get access to our unique quizzes and videos that both teach you the fundamentals and guide you to the exact topics you need to practice more on, covering both theory and practice.We started in 2016 and have always focused on making our course convenient and affordable, while maintaining high-quality course material.

Question 2

What is a Green Card?

Accepted Answer

A Green Card = hcp 54, i.e. you have a Golf ID registered with a starting handicap of 54 (or lower). The Green Card is golf's equivalent of a driver's licence. Together with an active membership in a golf club, you can pay a green fee to play on most Swedish golf courses. The Green Card requirements exist so that you feel safe and comfortable on the course in terms of gameplay, etiquette and rules. It's also a guarantee that every player meets the basic requirements for safe, enjoyable and fair golf. You can take the Green Card through traditional in-person training or digitally via Golf4u.se. A Green Card is valid for life, as long as you don't become inactive in golf.

Question 3

What are the criteria for the Green Card and how quickly can I get it?

Accepted Answer

Once you've passed our 12 quizzes and completed the course, you're ready for the two mandatory steps for obtaining the Green Card at any club in Sweden: a playing test and a final theoretical quiz from the Swedish Golf Federation (SGF).If you already have some golf knowledge and are motivated, the process can be fast — many complete it within 24 hours. Others need more time. It depends on how easily you meet the requirements. Golf4u helps you focus your practice time on the exact areas you need to work on.

Question 4

Is the Green Card valid everywhere?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is only one type of Green Card and it is valid everywhere. Individual clubs may however have their own restrictions regarding, for example, playing handicap for green-fee play. You can take the Green Card through traditional in-person training or digitally via Golf4u.se — either way gives you the same rights. A Green Card is valid for life, as long as you don't become inactive in golf.

Question 5

Gift cards — can I give Golf4u as a present?

Accepted Answer

You can buy our Take the Green Card course as a gift card. You do so via Swish through this page: https://golf4u.se/en/gift-card

Question 6

What is a Golf ID and where do I find it?

Accepted Answer

The Golf ID works like a 'personal number' within Swedish golf and is used to make administration easier. A Golf ID is created automatically when you are registered in GIT (golf's IT system). While taking your course at Golf4u we can help you create your Golf ID (via 'My page' on Golf4u). You'll get your Golf ID sent to your email automatically after we register you. Depending on your settings it may land in your spam folder. You can have a Golf ID without having a Green Card.If you already have a Golf ID but need help finding it, contact the club you intend to become a member of and they can help you further.

Question 7

What if I already have a Golf ID?

Accepted Answer

If you already have a Golf ID we can look it up in the golf IT system (GIT) using your personal identity number. You won't get a new Golf ID — you'll keep your existing one.

Question 8

Why does 'My Golf' say 'inactive' and what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

'Inactive' in this case refers to membership in a golf club and has nothing to do with the Green Card or Golf4u. It means you cannot book tee times or adjust your handicap. To become 'active' you need to join a golf club. On 'My Golf' it may say that Bryttsätter Golfklubb is your home club. This is because Golf4u operates through Bryttsätter Golfklubb, which you administratively belong to until you optionally join another club. Note: to book tee times via My Golf you need to be both an active member and have a Green Card.
