Golfvaardigheidsbewijs - GVB
The GVB system is a Dutch licence that confirms that a particular golfer has reached a minimum standard required to play on a golf course. Because golf is a relatively new sport in Holland where there aren't many public golf courses available, the new golfers are welcome to play on private golf courses providing that they hold a GVB card. They must know the rules of golf, understand the etiquette and have a reasonable knowledge of the golf swing technique.

This is a very good system and would also be very valuable in countries such as China who are just beginning to learn golf as a new sport.

This chapter will be more relevance in the Dutch version of this web site.
