2012 MGA New Policies

MGA NEW POLICIES

Since its origin in 1905, the Missouri
Golf Association has continually sought to provide Missouri’s amateur players with quality championships at quality venues. The MGA is dedicated to carrying on the tradition with one simple goal in mind: to provide each of the participants the best competition and the most enjoyable competitive golf experience possible.

The services provided by the MGA have grown over the years to include the GHIN Handicap Service, course marking, monitoring of amateur status, conduct of rules seminars and provision of course ratings to our members clubs. We are proud that our
major championships have grown to nine; along with other events such as the
Senior Series Tour, Junior Hieronymus Series, Little Juniors and the Ken
Lanning Championship. The tournaments conducted by the MGA continue to expand in number; and they are still being offered for you, the amateur golfer, with that original mission and goal in mind.

In an effort to further improve and expand the tournament offerings and the services you’ve come to expect, the MGA will be implementing a new Membership Fee in 2012. This Membership Fee will be $30 for the year. This payment option will be available to you online and on the mail-in entry forms.
