New EGS Website Launch

Announcing the Brand New Emirates Golf Society Website

We’re excited to announce the launch of the all-new Emirates Golf Society website, marking a significant update since the original site was built by Tim Collins in 2004. Nearly 21 years on, we've modernised your online experience, enhancing your interaction with society while preserving all the functionality you know and appreciate.

Fresh Design and Enhanced Navigation

Our revamped website sports a contemporary design that is clean, mobile-friendly, and intuitive. Navigating through the site to find relevant information—whether on desktop, tablet, or smartphone—is now easier than ever.

Improved News and Communication

The enhanced news section empowers the committee to communicate efficiently with members. Expect quicker, simpler postings of event results, announcements, and even committee election updates. Additionally, a comprehensive news archive means you'll never miss important updates or historical information.

Streamlined Registration and Secure Access

Registration and login are more straightforward, yet retain your existing credentials—no need to create new logins. We've also introduced a "forgotten password" feature, allowing easy self-service resets without the need to contact the admin or committee members.

Enhanced Member Profiles

The improved profile section lets you update your personal details, upload profile photos, and manage your handicap information easily—essential for event participation and maintaining club transparency.

Advanced Event Management

We've significantly upgraded event management, making participation simpler and clearer than ever:

• Event Calendar: View upcoming events clearly through intuitive monthly and yearly calendar views.
• Easy Registration: Register yourself quickly and conveniently, directly adding your guests and their details during the signup process.
• Clear Waitlists: Transparent waitlists automatically handle overflow registrations, clearly displaying your position and updating dynamically as places become available.
• Registration Editing: Freely update or edit your registration at any time—add comments, adjust guest information, or make changes as needed without hassle.
• Detailed Event Descriptions: Enhanced event details are provided through rich text descriptions, giving you a comprehensive understanding of each event.

Transparency and Community Building

Our new searchable membership directory highlights each member’s details, including handicaps, promoting openness and easy communication. Quickly view committee details and contact information, making your interactions with society leaders straightforward.

We look forward to your feedback and hope you enjoy the enhanced features and ease of use on your new Emirates Golf Society website. See you at the next event!

If you discover bugs or issues, please use the new Support page to report them to the team at Antler (the team behind the new site).

New: Grint ID and Handicap Sync

To keep event handicaps fair and current, Grint is now our source of truth for members who have a Grint account.

• Go to your Profile and connect your Grint account by searching for your profile and selecting the correct result.
• Once connected, your Grint identity is locked for members and can only be changed by an administrator.
• Your handicap is pulled from Grint and marked as verified, including the last sync timestamp.
• If you do not have a Grint account, open your Profile and untick "I have a Grint account" to opt out.
• Members without a Grint account can continue to manage handicap manually in their profile.

If you think your Grint username is wrong or your profile cannot be matched, please contact the committee or raise a support request.
