Australia’s biggest golf competition is on again, and this year Genesis is proud to present the 2018 Genesis Golf Link Cup. The final will be held at a prestigious Sydney course in November, and finalists will enjoy a VIP experience during the 2018 Australian Open thanks to Genesis. In 2016 the Genesis became a major backer of golf in Australia, and will continue on in 2018 as the Official Partner of the Australian Open and the ISPS Handa Australian Open.
All you do is register and then play your regular competition golf. Golf Link takes care of all of the rest, aggregating millions of golf scores from around the country each year. REGISTER
Here’s how the Genesis Golf Link Cup works. When you play a round of your regular competition golf, Golf Link automatically takes your score and calculates the Genesis Golf Link Cup points you have earned and adds them to your tally. Your best five rounds and 1 worst round during the series will be used to calculate your position on the leaderboard so the more rounds of your regular golf that you play, the more likely you are to rise up the rankings. You will be able to chart the progress of friends, fellow members and competition frontrunners and interact every time you post a score. It’s simple, exciting and you don’t have to do anything different, just register and play your regular golf and we’ll do the rest.
All you have to do to go into the major prize draw is play a minimum of six rounds of competition golf at your club or another in Australia. If you’re one of the top eight finishers in each Series, you’ll earn the right to play off in the Genesis Golf Link Cup final in Sydney and enjoy a VIP Hospitality experience at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney during the 2018 Australian Open.
Series Two begins on July 2, 2018 and runs until October 14, 2018, and every eligible player in Series Two has the chance to win a new Genesis G80 luxury sedan valued at up to $80,000.
