Frequently asked

The questions
we hear most.

Everything about how Q9Golf works, qualifies, and rewards. If your question isn't here, tell us.

How many golfers can participate?

A maximum of 36 per 9-hole competition per club on any Q9 day — nine four-ball starts per front and back nine. Club entries themselves are unlimited. Each club hosts a minimum of fifty Q9 days a season, providing 100 competitions of 9 holes each.

How do I qualify for a final?

Top 3 in each division per club go to the Zone Final (18 golfers per club). Top 3 in each division from the Zone go to Nationals (180 qualifiers). The top 4 per division at the National Final — 24 golfers — travel as Team SA Q9Golf to the World Super Series.

Where will the international finals be played?

The inaugural Q9Golf Super Series World Final will be played at an exotic international destination after the South African finalists have been announced — the next edition is scheduled for November.

Who manages the South African team at the Worlds?

Q9Golf appoints an independent team manager for the South African teams at the Q9Golf World Super Series.

How are the qualifying golfers chosen?

On the way to the world finals, the top 3 golfers in each handicap division proceed from club to zone to national, and then the top 4 in each division go to the World Super Series — all based on Stableford scores. Four golfers per division also form the team identity for the World Final.

What kit do golfers wear at the Worlds?

Every team wears a brand designed for the championship in a Super Series format. Q9Golf provides sponsored shirts, trousers, socks and blazers. Golf shoes and equipment are excluded.

What is the competition format at the World Final?

Six groups of one team of four. The world final is played over six rounds of 9 holes each — three from the front and three from the back. There are six trophy categories plus an overall combined team trophy and individual trophies in each division.

How many matches will each team play?

All golfers play a minimum of 6 games each for an individual title and a total of 144 scores per team count for the overall champions.

Do I need to be a SAGA member?

Yes — Q9Golf is open to amateur golfers with an active HNA / SAGA handicap. We verify your handicap automatically when you register.

Can I play more than the qualifying minimum?

Yes — unlimited rounds per season. The more you play, the better your top 6 scores can become.

Can I play Q9Golf at more than one club?

Yes, but each club runs its own Q9Golf league table and scores are not shared across clubs. Each club has the same qualifying criteria — a minimum of 3 front-9 and 3 back-9 rounds on that course.

What happens if a club has more than one 18-hole course?

Each 18-hole course runs as a separate Q9Golf championship with its own leaderboard, qualifiers and prize pool.

Wildcard eligibility

In the event of any wildcard draw at any stage of the championship — including the World Super Series team — only golfers who have played at least 12 rounds during the Q9Golf club qualifying stage at club level will be eligible.
