Overall overview

About Introgolf

Introgolf's purpose is to give new golfers and new members a good introduction to the club and to inform them about the facilities and club life at KGK.

To you If you are a new golfer, a team of experienced golfers will be on hand to mentor and introduce you and help you acquire a course permit, as well as provide information about golf rules and etiquette. Read more about the course itself here.

To you If you are a new member and need support to get started, a team of experienced golfers/mentors will be ready to give you a guided tour of our fantastic course, as well as help you find playing partners.

KGK's head coach Klas will come around the field on Monday afternoons if necessary and provide guidance on the different challenges that you may experience on the field during games.

Introgolf is handled by the intro committee.

If you are a junior, you can read here.

How to get a play permit

For those of you who are new golfers, we at Copenhagen Golf Club (KGK) have put together a course that you must complete to obtain a course permit:

You must be able to play our par 3 course (5 holes with lengths between 60 and 100 m) once in a maximum of 18 strokes.
You are now ready to participate in our Intro Course, which is a game over 9 holes on our 18-hole course. With a handicap (HCP) of 54, you must score 18 points on each of the following tees: 31, 37 and 43.
You must complete DGU's rule test, completed rules test must be handed in to the office or sent to kgk@kgkgolf.dk

Once this is done, you have obtained a "course permit" and received an hcp of 54. Congratulations? You are now allowed to book and play every day, provided that you are a member of KGK.

If you have any questions, please contact our coaching team Klas Olsson (klas@kgkgolf.dk) or Oskar Almlund (oskar@kgkgolf.dk) or write directly to Introgolf (Introgolf@kgkgolf.dk).

The rules of golf - in one place

As a new player in the sport of golf, there is a lot to learn – new words, concepts and rules.
The club office sells a pocket guide, an easy-to-read handbook of rules and etiquette. Such a book is good to have in your golf bag when doubts or disagreements about the rules arise out on the course.

If you have a smartphone, you can download the R&A (the rules of golf) from the App store or Google Play store.

Below you can click to access the rule book, the rules test, videos about the rules and a golf dictionary.
