6. What's the catch?
There is no catch. We don't sell or provide submitted information to third parties nor do we bombard you with unwanted advertising, and we don't try to sell you anything.
This site started life as an example of the work I do as part of my Internet software and design business and has simply taken off as more and more Societies have joined. However successful this site is in the future, the ethos of Society Golfing will remain the same, FREE to use for the benefit of Golf Societies everywhere.
