I hope your season is off to a fantastic start! As a Club Representative, you're the vital link for sharing all the important NCGA news with the right folks at your club—whether they're admins, members, or club pros. I've highlighted which updates are best suited for each group, so you'll know exactly who to pass the info along to!
Note: This newsletter is sent out only to you as the Club Rep, and we count on you to share this information with any other club admins or members who might need it. New information for Club Reps this month includes:
- Exclusive Invitation: Club Rep Days at Poppy Ridge in Livermore
- USGA Club Assessment
- Your members' new benefits at Poppy Ridge
- Rule of the Month
- FREE NCGA Fantasy Golf League!
- We're Hiring!
- Bryan Rodriguez
Exclusive Invitation: Club Rep Days at Poppy Ridge in Livermore
For you, the Club Rep
We are inviting Club Representatives to come and experience the ALL-NEW Poppy Ridge Course FREE, before it opens to the public! In addition to the chance to play, we'll enjoy a delightful lunch and have a Club Rep meeting to chat about key priorities at the NCGA.
We want to make sure every Club Representative gets a chance to join us, so we're considering adding more days for those who couldn't make it on their original date. Last week, we sent out the form linked below to help us figure out the best options for additional days.
If you haven't had a chance to submit the form and you aren't already registered for a Club Rep Day, but would like to attend. Please submit the form below by 5/8/25.
On Monday, April 7, the USGA sent out an Assessment to all Clubs to verify that their club information is up to date. A reminder email was also sent on May 1. Please be sure that your club has completed the assessment before July 1, 2025.
The assessment for this year is very short and should only take a minute to complete. Each club has a specific link that was included in the original and reminder emails sent to the club. If you need another link, please feel free to reach out to us, and we can provide the link to your club.
Your members' new benefits at Poppy Ridge
For All Club Members
The ALL-NEW Poppy Ridge 18-hole Golf Course is opening up to all members on May 31! With this grand opening comes the new NCGA Member benefit rates.
No, we're not dropping the Rule of the Month Blog. But the May Rule of the Month Blog is about dropping, dropping your ball that is 😏.
Trust me, as someone who has to take a drop almost every round. It helps to know the intricacies of how and when you can take relief. Whether it's from a water hazard, sprinkler head, or cart path, each one comes with a different process for relief.
The month of May brings two Major Championships that are part of our NCGA Majors Challenge Fantasy Golf League for 2025! The PGA Championship (May 15-18) and the U.S. Women's Open (May 29 - June 1).
This league is FREE to all NCGA Members and comes with prizes for the top scorers! You select new teams for each event, so even if you missed the first Masters event, you can still participate in any remaining event in the season. Click on the link below to learn more and sign up!
Do you know of someone interested in a career in golf? Maybe one of your members does, too! Please let them know to check the Careers Link below or on NCGA.org to find out more about the paid 9-Month Boatwright Internship currently available.
